Is Continental Seasoned Rice Halal?
MUSHBOOH
This seasoned rice lists carmine among the natural colours. Carmine (E120) is a red colour made from cochineal insects, and we treat it as not suitable for Muslim shoppers; the majority view, including the Hanafi, Shafi'i, Hanbali and Ja'fari schools, avoids it, while the Maliki school is more lenient. The flavour enhancer 635 can also need source checking, but carmine is the deciding issue here.
