Is Mantecados Halal?
HARAM
This looks like a Spanish sweet made with manteca de cerdo ibérico, meaning Iberian pork lard. Pork fat is a direct ingredient, and pork is prohibited in Quran 2:173, so this is not suitable for a Muslim shopper. The antioxidants E330, E304 and E306 are not the issue here; the lard is the deciding ingredient.
