Is Bao Buns Halal?

MUSHBOOH

The emulsifier (491) has an unspecified source; it could come from plant oil or animal fat, so a plant or halal-source declaration would settle it. A vegetarian claim or words such as “plant-based” would confirm it.

Hanafi — their opinion: processing changes the fat into a genuinely new substance, so it is allowed.

Shafi, Maliki, Jafari, Zaydi, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the fat could be pork, so it should be avoided unless a plant or halal source is confirmed.
