Is Cyclamate (E952) Halal?

MUIS lists E952 (Cyclamate) as halal. It is manufactured synthetically from non-animal raw materials. The status applies to the additive itself; the finished product still needs its other ingredients checked.

Cyclamic acid (cyclamate) and its calcium and sodium salts are synthetic non-caloric sweeteners about 30-50 times sweeter than sucrose. Cyclamate is heat-stable and often blended with saccharin to mask off-flavours.

• sugar-free soft drinks (where permitted)
• tabletop sweeteners
• sugar-free desserts

• E952 on its own is not a reason to avoid a product.
• The finished product still needs its other ingredients checked — look for a halal certification logo (MUIS, JAKIM, MUI, HMC or similar) when in doubt.
• Halal status here follows the MUIS food additive listing; rulings can differ between certification bodies.
