Is Frito-Lay Cheese Snack Halal?
MUSHBOOH
The cheddar and parmesan-style cheese contain enzymes, so the rennet source is not stated; a microbial, vegetable-rennet, or halal mark would settle it.
Hanafi — their opinion: rennet is not made impure by the animal’s death, so this cheese is allowed.
Shafi, Maliki, Jafari, Zaydi, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the rennet should come from a halal source, so it should be avoided unless confirmed.
