Is Smith's Stax Sour Cream Halal?
MUSHBOOH
This potato chip uses E471, a fatty-acid emulsifier that can be made from plant oils or animal fat, and the label does not say which. That source question is why we mark it as doubtful. To clear it up, look for a halal mark or ask Smith’s whether the E471 is vegetable-sourced. Some scholars lean to original permissibility, but the safer approach is to verify.
