Dextrose is the common food name for crystalline D-glucose. Industrial dextrose is made from plant starch hydrolysis, so the ingredient is Halal. It appears in baking, cured meats as a fermentation sugar, sports gels and powdered drinks.
How to verify
1) Dextrose / D-glucose on food labels → ordinarily Halal. 2) Check sports blends for other additives. 3) Medical drips are a clinical context—ask a clinician; the sugar itself is not a pork product.
