Is Ingredion (INGR) stock Halal?
As of the September 2026 screening, Ingredion, Inc. (INGR) does not meet the AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 threshold for the non-permissible income screen, so the stock is not currently classified as Shariah compliant. It is re-screened every month and can regain compliance if its financial structure changes.
Ingredion is a leading global producer of starches and sweeteners derived from corn, tapioca, potatoes, and other raw materials. Operating within the diversified industrial and consumer staples sector, its primary function is to supply ingredients that enhance the texture, nutrition, and functionality of food and beverages. Their product portfolio includes sweeteners, starches, nutrition ingredients, and biomaterials that are widely used in various industries, including food and beverage, brewing, pharmaceuticals, and paper and corrugating industries. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Ingredion a Halal investment?
Is Ingredion Shariah compliant?
Food, household goods and everyday retail are permissible activities, with one watch item: incidental revenue from alcohol, tobacco or conventional financial services must stay below the 5% ceiling of AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21. For Ingredion, that is usually the screen worth reading first.
Does Ingredion pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Ingredion currently fails the non-permissible income screen, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The watch item is the product mix: any alcohol, tobacco or similar lines count against the 5% ceiling.
Is Ingredion's income Halal?
No. Ingredion's income from impermissible sources currently exceeds AAOIFI's 5% revenue ceiling, which makes the stock non-compliant on this screen regardless of the others. The screen is reassessed monthly, so the status can change when new financial statements arrive.
Does Ingredion meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Yes. Both caps hold this month: interest bearing investments and interest bearing debt each stay below 30% of market capitalisation. Because the caps move with the share price, our Shariah Supervisory Board has INGR re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
