Is Marshmallow Cereal Halal?
HARAM
This cereal is not suitable because the marshmallow bits include cochineal extract, which is carmine (E120), an insect-derived red color. That ingredient is treated as prohibited by the majority of scholars; only the Maliki school has a more lenient view on insects without flowing blood. It also contains gelatin, and the label does not say which animal it comes from, so that would be doubtful even on its own.
