Is Dr. Oetker Jelly Halal?
HALAL
This jelly is marked this way because the label clearly lists carmine, an insect-derived red colour. Carmine (E120) is not accepted by the Hanafi, Shafi'i, Hanbali and Ja'fari schools, so this is enough to avoid it. The label also lists gelatin without saying the animal source. Only the Maliki school is more lenient on insect ingredients; we follow the cautious majority view.
