Is McVitie's Go Ahead Halal?
MUSHBOOH
The label lists emulsifier (471), and it does not say whether those fatty acids come from plant oil or animal fat. That source decides the ruling, so we mark this as doubtful. To clear it, look for a halal mark or ask McVitie’s whether E471 is vegetable-based; the hadith in Tirmidhi 2518 supports leaving doubtful matters.
