Is Arnott's Choc Biscuit Halal?
HARAM
This biscuit is not suitable because the label explicitly lists cochineal, which is carmine (E120), a red colour made from insects. The majority of scholars do not allow it, so that is enough to avoid this product. A small note: the Maliki school is more lenient on insects without flowing blood, but we follow the cautious majority view here.
