For Muslims around the world, eating halal is not a trend or dietary preference; it’s a religious obligation. “Halal” in Arabic means “permissible,” and when it comes to food, this means products must be free from pork, alcohol, and other substances forbidden in Islam. But beyond avoiding obvious ingredients, halal also requires that the entire supply chain aligns with Islamic law, from animal slaughter to cross-contamination and even the source of additives.
In the past, identifying halal food was more straightforward: Muslims could rely on visible certification marks, familiar local brands, or direct knowledge of food preparation. But in 2025, the food landscape has changed:
This complexity makes halal verification increasingly difficult, especially when living, studying, or shopping in non-Muslim countries. Simply reading a label is no longer enough.
That’s why a halal scanner app is becoming a necessity. These apps empower Muslims to:
A halal scanner is a mobile app or digital tool that helps Muslims determine whether a product; usually food, cosmetics, or medicine, is permissible (halal) under Islamic law. By scanning a product’s barcode, the app checks its ingredients, manufacturing sources, and certifications to verify if it’s:
These scanners are especially useful in non-Muslim countries where packaging can be confusing, ingredients are often hidden behind E-numbers or vague labels. Additionally, halal certifications are not always visible or trustworthy. Halal scanner apps give users peace of mind by delivering instant, scholar-backed answers, right on their phones.
Using a halal scanner offers both convenience and satisfaction. Here’s why Muslims are increasingly turning to these tools in 2025:

Because reading labels isn’t enough anymore, many ingredients are listed as E-numbers, “natural flavours,” or scientific names that don’t clearly tell you if they’re halal. A halal scanner instantly decodes these ingredients and gives you a trustworthy verdict, saving you time, effort, and religious risk.
Not always. Some halal logos are fake or uncertified, and ingredient lists can hide problematic items like alcohol-based additives or animal-derived enzymes. A halal scanner like Mustakshif gives you a verified, scholar-backed assessment, even for products without a clear halal symbol.
Yes. Mustakshif has data for products from the UK, Canada, New Zealand, and beyond. Just use the country filter in the app.
No. You can check vitamins, toothpaste, skincare, cosmetics, and more. If it has ingredients, you can scan it.
The app will tell you why it’s doubtful—like questionable enzymes or alcohol-based flavours—and often link to a scholarly fatwa or scientific explanation. You’ll also get suggestions for verified halal alternatives.
