Why this ruling
Glucose in food is usually a syrup or powder made by breaking down plant starch into simpler sugars. It sweetens candy, soft drinks, baked goods and processed sauces. Because the feedstock is plant starch, glucose is Halal in mainstream analysis.
See also dextrose (chemically D-glucose, often crystalline) and maltodextrin (longer starch fragments).
How to verify
1) Glucose / glucose syrup / dextrose syrup on a label is ordinarily Halal. 2) Wheat-derived glucose may matter for gluten allergy—not for Halal status. 3) Still read the finished candy or drink for gelatin and alcohol.
