Is Lemon Cheesecake Halal?
The emulsifiers Polyglycerol Esters of Fatty Acids and Mono- and Diglycerides of Fatty Acids may come from plant fat or animal fat, including pork; a plant or halal source would settle it. No labelling law requires the source to be declared, so an unqualified ingredient remains unresolved.
Jafari, Zaydi — their opinion: Allowed — an unstated source does not have to be investigated, so it is allowed.
Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the fat could be pork, so a plant or halal source must be named and the product should be avoided without one.
