Is Mentos Fruit Candy Halal?

MUSHBOOH

The label lists sucrose fatty acid esters, whose fat may come from plants or animals; no rule requires its source to be declared, so a plant-source or vegetarian claim would settle it.

Jafari — their opinion: an unspecified source need not be investigated, so it is allowed.

Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali — their opinion: the fat could come from pork, and processing does not change its ruling, so it should be avoided unless a plant or halal source is confirmed.
