What it is and where it comes from
Carnauba wax is a hard plant wax scraped from the leaves of the carnauba palm. It gives sweets and fruit a shine.
Where you find it
Glazing on sweets, chocolate-coated nuts, jelly sweets, fruit, and tablets.
What to look for on the label
Nothing to check for halal.
This is a guide, not a fatwa. Recipes change, so check the label, look for halal certification, and ask your local imam where scholars differ.
