Is White Chocolate Cereal Halal?
MUSHBOOH
Shellac (E904) is listed as animal-derived and is used as a shiny coating, so it is flagged; a carnauba-wax (E903) coating would avoid the question.
Hanafi, Maliki — their opinion: Allowed, because shellac is a natural secretion rather than the insect itself.
Shafi — they find it disliked because it comes from an insect secretion and is better avoided; Jafari, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: Not allowed because it is an insect derivative.
