Is Mercadona Cheese Bites Halal?
MUSHBOOH
This cheese snack lists quimosina, the milk-clotting enzyme used like rennet. The label does not say whether it is microbial/vegetarian or taken from animal stomach, so the source needs checking; a halal mark or a clear microbial/non-animal rennet statement would resolve it. E322 is sunflower lecithin, so that emulsifier is fine.
