Is Nerds Candy Halal?

HARAM

Auf dem Etikett steht „carmine color“. Das ist ein roter Farbstoff aus Cochenille-Insekten; nach der vorsichtigen Mehrheitsmeinung der hanafitischen, schafiitischen, hanbalitischen und dschafaritischen Gelehrten wird er nicht gegessen. Hinweis: Die malikitische Schule erlaubt solche Insekten, HalalCheck folgt hier aber der strengeren Ansicht.
