Why Diets Disagree on Agar Agar
Halal classifies agar agar as Allowed because it evaluates foods by compliance with Islamic dietary law. Carnivore, on the other hand, classifies it as Not Allowed because it evaluates by whether the food comes from an animal. Different diets use different evaluation criteria, which is why the same food can receive opposite classifications. 20 diets classify agar agar as Limited — meaning it fits under specific conditions like portion size, preparation method, or brand selection.
