Answer

Yes, Jains can eat biscuits only if the ingredients are suitable according to Jain food rules.

What to Check

Before eating biscuits, check that they do not contain:

• Egg
• Gelatin
• Animal fat or lard
• Honey
• Onion or garlic powder
• Any non-vegetarian flavoring

Also, many Jains avoid biscuits if they contain yeast or if they are not fresh, depending on family tradition and level of practice.

Jain Understanding

In Jain Dharma, food should support ahimsa, purity, and self-control. So packaged foods like biscuits should be eaten carefully, after checking ingredients.

Takeaway

You may eat biscuits if they are pure vegetarian, eggless, and free from prohibited ingredients according to your Jain practice.
