Is Arnott's Favourites Halal?
HALAL
This assortment is not suitable because the jam filling uses carmine, an insect-derived red colour. That ingredient is treated as impermissible by the Hanafi, Shafi'i, Hanbali, and Ja'fari schools; only the Maliki school is generally more lenient with insects without flowing blood. We also noticed E492, which can come from animal or plant fat, but the carmine alone is enough to avoid this product.
