Is Coles Berliner Donut Halal?
HARAM
This donut uses Natural Colour (120), carmine/cochineal, a red dye made from insects. The majority view treats it as not permissible; the Maliki school is more lenient, but we follow the cautious majority view. Emulsifiers 471 and 472e also need source checking, as they can come from plant or animal fat.
