Is Caramel Ice Cream Halal?
The Finnish label identifies E471 as plant-based, but the Swedish, Danish and Norwegian text does not specify its source; unqualified E471 can come from plant or animal fat, including pork. A plant-based statement or vegetarian claim on the package would settle it.
Jafari — their opinion: an unstated source need not be investigated, so it is allowed.
Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali — their opinion: the fat could be pork, and processing does not change its ruling, so a plant or halal source is needed.
