How far do you take the halal/non halal issue for food?

I’ve also realised that there’s vegan sugar, the reason being that there are 2 kinds of sugar out there and the one kind, cane sugar, is filtered through activated carbon which may be of animal, vegetable or mineral origin. Would you consider this non halal, and look for only sugar extracted from beets?

Also how do you know what ingredients can be halal or non halal? Like I never knew about sugar or emulsifiers, etc, how are you supposed to keep up to date with what products are used in what things? I mean I never even thought to check if my bread was halal or not.

That IMO is going too far. If I had to start checking my bread and sugar then I’d rather not live in a foreign country.
