Halal vanilla flavour from Kerry in a 1 litre jerrycan, made with water, propylene glycol, sugar and synthetic flavourings.
Kerry Vanilla Essence comes in a white 1 litre jerrycan with a red cap and a plain label reading Vanilla Flavour, ES0177, in English and Arabic. The ingredients are water, propylene glycol (1520), sugar and synthetic flavourings. The label carries a halal mark, spaces for the production date, expiry date and batch number, and states that it is a product of Australia, with the Kerry address in Lonsdale, South Australia. As general background, vanillin is the main flavour compound of the vanilla bean, and synthetic vanillin is now used more often than natural vanilla as a flavouring in foods and drinks. Add it to cake and cookie batters with the wet ingredients, stir it into custards, crème pâtissière and whipped cream, or blend it into milkshake and ice cream bases. Measure with a clean spoon and recap the jerrycan promptly.
