Is Smith's Cheese & Onion Chips Halal?
MUSHBOOH
The cheese powder is made from real cheese, but the label doesn't say whether its rennet is microbial or from a calf; a microbial-rennet note, vegetarian claim or halal mark would settle it.
Hanafi, Jafari — their opinion: cheese rennet remains pure even if the animal was not slaughtered Islamically, so it is allowed.
Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali — their opinion: the rennet should come from a halal source, so they treat it as doubtful when that is not confirmed.
