Is Mercadona Cheese Balls Halal?
MUSHBOOH
The concern here is quimosina, the cheese-coagulating enzyme. It can come from calf stomach or from microbial fermentation, and the label does not say which one. A “microbial,” “vegetarian,” “non-animal rennet,” or halal-certified statement would remove the doubt. The sunflower lecithin in the chocolate is plant-based.
