Is Lay's Cheddar Chips Halal?
MUSHBOOH
It contains rennet in the Cheddar cheese seasoning, but the label does not confirm a microbial or halal source; a vegetarian or microbial-rennet declaration would settle it.
Hanafi, Maliki — their opinion: the rennet becomes part of a new substance as the cheese sets, so it is allowed.
Shafi, Jafari, Hanbali — their opinion: the rennet should come from halal slaughter or a microbial source, so it should be avoided here.
