Is Cheetos Cheese Balls Halal?

MUSHBOOH

The cheese powder may contain rennet, but its source is not stated; a microbial or vegetable-rennet note, vegetarian claim, or halal mark would settle it.

Hanafi — their opinion: rennet is not made impure by the animal's death, so it is allowed.

Shafi, Maliki, Jafari, Hanbali — their opinion: the rennet should come from halal slaughter or a microbial source, so it should be avoided.
