What is the ruling on using bread improver that contains the substance E300 (ascorbic acid), which is approved by the European Union with an ISO certificate, given the fear of its harm to humans? Is it permissible to use it, or is it preferable to abstain from it? And is one sinful if they dispose of it after purchasing it?

There is no harm in using bread improver containing ascorbic acid (Vitamin C). The basic principle is that it is permissible and not harmful, and it is approved by the European Union. Vitamin C is essential for human health and combating diseases. As for compounds denoted by the letter (E) followed by a number, these are additive compounds that do not affect the permissibility of food or drink, whether they are chemical, plant-based, or animal-derived substances that have undergone transformation, or are consumed in the final product. Our religion is one of ease, and it does not obligate a Muslim to delve into and investigate these matters.
