Is Pistachio Castella Cake Halal?
MUSHBOOH
The emulsifiers include E471, whose fat may be plant- or animal-derived, including pork; the package gives no source, and no labelling rule requires one.
Jafari — their opinion: an unspecified source need not be investigated, so it is allowed.
Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali — their opinion: the fat could be pork, so a plant or halal source must be confirmed; without that, avoid it.
