Is Smith's Stax Halal?
MUSHBOOH
For these sour cream and onion chips, emulsifier E471 is the main doubt because it can be made from plant oils or animal fat, and the label does not say which. Flavour enhancer E635 can also come from yeast or fish, but may have animal processing sources. A halal mark or a manufacturer reply confirming plant or microbial sources would settle it; otherwise it is safer to leave what is doubtful.
