Why Diets Disagree on Xanthan Gum

Halal classifies xanthan gum 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 xanthan gum as Limited — meaning it fits under specific conditions like portion size, preparation method, or brand selection.
