Last Updated: 03/02/2010 These are Haraam M&Ms Peanut- E120 M&Ms Chocolate- E120 M&Ms Crispy- E120 ALL THE FOLLOWING ARE HALAAL Please see the notes next to some of them, to highlight the issue of calf rennet and alcoholic flavourings at the bottom. Some may feel they wish to refrain them. Calf Rennet Clarification: Rennet per se, is not impermissible. It is permissible to eat cheese which has rennet from calf rennet though praiseworthy to refrain from due to a slight difference of opinion viz: Is Whey Rennet Haraam? (no!)http://www.gmwa.org.uk/foodguide2/index.php?page=viewquestion&id=20 * contains calf based rennet *? Possibly contains calf rennet as manufactured on the continent Alcoholic Flavourings Clarification: Alcohols used as a carrier for food colourings and flavourings are permissible as long as they are not sourced from dates or grapes. Read the full article here: Halal list: Bounty Milk Bounty Dark (Kindly note, that Bounty no longer contains animal rennet, however the packaging may not reflect this (the packaging is slowly being replaced). As a result of this, Mars has erred on the side of caution and officially say that Bounty is not suitable for vegetarians, nonetheless they are actually suitable for vegetarians.)

Mars contains vanilla extract, which is haraam because it's extracted with alcohol. on the contrary, vanillin is permissible because it's artificial and alcohol is not involved to obtain it.
ReplyDeleteeverything that contains vanilla extract is haraam, although vanilla powder is permissible since it isn't an extract.
Alcohol flavourings from different types of alcohols are classified differently by Scholars...
ReplyDeleteBest would be to refrain completely.. because this is a demand/sign of Taqwa.
Otherwise you can follow the following opinion
Alcoholic Flavourings Clarification:
Alcohols used as a carrier for food colourings and flavourings are permissible as long as they are not sourced from dates or grapes.

ReplyDeletewell, Allah knows best. truth is clear from error. i still don't know about rennet, it is very confusing. i had Mars here at home some days ago and after i discovered it had vanilla extract and searching about it, it was considered haraam by most of the scholars. and rennet, i can't find any information about it besides the information you show. my husband forgets to ask the sheikh here about this, and i have a Galaxy Caramel waiting in the drawer to be accepted or rejected. lol
I'm no sheikh / scholar myself, this opinion is from the following website / organization:
ReplyDeleteGmwa Foodguide Ruling on Calf rennet . Best practice is again to rely on the side of caution and refrain from it. But the permissibility is there because rennet is made from the inner lining of the stomach of a calf.
The inner stomach lining is not meat, its more like an enzyme / liquidy substance.. Read above article for further understanding..
The question here is not permissibility or impermissibility of rennet because there is three opinions regarding this matter. The question is which one will you follow..
The opinion promoted even in the above article is to practice Taqwa and abstain.. But if that is too difficult then to consume it is not wrong and nobody should be condemned because of doing so..
hope this answers..
Why do we have to believe in the UK Halal because the UK is non-Muslim countries? But they still have a fatwa, as well as theirs, but we Muslims in Malaysia have to believe in our own country. It's up to the respective rights of the important Islamic intact.
ReplyDeletelots of chocolate you listed as halal is haram.
ReplyDeleteJust note that sometimes they don't even say vanilla flavouring has alcohol in it. I remember I bought vanilla flavouring which didn't seem to have alcohol, but the "natural flavouring" bothered me a bit so I did a bit of research on it. It turns out that anything that is biologically processed by enzymes etc is classified as "natural flavouring" so a lot of companies can easily pass off "alcohol" in the ingridients as "natural flavouring" instead (since fermentation would certainly be classified as a "natural" process.)
ReplyDeleteAssalamu Alaikum I rang mars and they said no alcohol is used. Then I asked about vanilla extract and they said no alcohol is used in their processes. Allah knows best
