Is Cheetos Flamin' Hot Halal?
MUSHBOOH
 **Enzymes** — MUSHBOOH
 **631** — MUSHBOOH
 **627** — MUSHBOOH
This snack is doubtful because the cheddar cheese lists enzymes, and the label does not say whether they are microbial, vegetarian, or animal rennet. The flavour enhancers 631 and 627 can also come from animal sources, even though they are often made by fermentation today. To clear the doubt, look for a halal mark or ask the manufacturer whether the enzymes and 631/627 are from non-animal sources.
**Health:** ★☆☆☆☆ — Standard spicy corn snack — more additives and coloring than most plain tortilla chips.
**Allergens:** Contains milk.
**Processing:** Ultra-processed
**Sugar:** None
**Salt:** Moderate — about typical for cheesy corn snacks
**Vegan:** Contains animal ingredients
