Alcohol in Flavouring of 7 up, Dr Pepper, Canada dry, Crush, Scweppes, Snapple

ALCOHOL IN THE FLAVOR OF 7 UP & CANADA DRY IS  CONFIRMED

Dr. Pepper Snapple Group company has confirmed the use of ethyl alcohol as a solvent or carrier in the flavor of 7UP, Dr. Pepper and other product to MCG by e-mail.

"Thank you for contacting us about 7Up Regular. Your comments and inquiries are appreciated because they provide valuable feedback about our brands.

Most of the flavors in our products are designed with a carrier that is usually ethanol. The amounts are very slight, but still present".

They make the following products:

All 7 UP, Dr. Pepper, A &p; W, Canada Dry, Clamato, Country Time, Crush,  Diet Rite, Hawaiian Punch, Schweppes, Snapple, Squirt. 

Note: Ruling on Alcoholic is different from different scholars, best practice is ofcourse Taqwa or caution, but otherwise the ruling regarding the permissibility of the Non khamr "alcohols" to be used as flavourings / carriers can be found here: Alocohol Ruling,   
Question remains regardless of the ruling that whether the ehtanol they used is source from Khamr or Non Khamr...

Arizona drinks Halal??

Just received a response from Arizona drinks Company (www.drinkarizona.com/)
stating that NONE of their products contains any alcohol or animal ingredients...

There still remains a chance that for their flavouring the carrier is some sort of alcohol but the company did not clearly respond to that question. Their associate simply replied there is no alcohol in any of their products..

Readers are requested to confirm this for themselves. You can email them at Info@drinkarizona.com

Here is the email response i received from them...: DrinkArizona

Thank you for your email. There is no alcohol or animal ingredients in any of our products. The U inside of the circle means the product is kosher certified.

Additive and 'E' numbers in food
Food additives are added to food to make it safer, keep it longer, stop the growth of bacteria, mould, and stop food going stale. They also aid processing as emulsifiers, raising agents, preservatives and improve food in terms of colour, taste, texture and nutritional value.

Additives increase the variety of food available to consumers keeping prices down, allowing safe delivery of food to urban populated areas and create alternatives to traditional food like meat substitutes for meat, low fat products for butter and yoghurt and sugar free drinks for diabetics.

The use of additives is strictly controlled by law. They may not be used in food unless they are on approved Government supervised list, proving their safe and effective usage. Once approved by the EC it is then given an 'E' number and is constantly monitored by local Government and the EEC.

EEC directives require all
