Are Seabrook Crisps Halal?
Seabrook is a Bradford-based crisp brand with a loyal following, particularly in Northern England where there is a large Muslim consumer base. The brand is generally considered halal-friendly.
Standard Range — No Animal Additives
Seabrook’s core crisp range (Sea Salt, Salt & Vinegar, Cheese & Onion, Prawn Cocktail) does not contain:
- Gelatin
- Carmine (E120)
- Pork-derived additives
- Animal fat fryers (vegetable oil used)
Prawn Cocktail Flavour
Seabrook Prawn Cocktail crisps are flavoured to taste like prawn cocktail — they do not contain actual prawns. The flavouring is typically derived from natural flavourings without crustacean content. Check the current label as formulations can change.
Cheese & Onion
Contains dairy (cheese powder) which is halal, though not halal-certified dairy specifically.
E635 Note
Some Seabrook flavours may contain E635 (Disodium Ribonucleotides) — a flavour enhancer. E635 can be derived from yeast or animal sources. Check current labels if this is a concern.
