Is Egg and Cress Sandwich Halal?
MUSHBOOH
The emulsifiers E471 and E472e may come from plant oil or animal fat, and the label gives no source; a plant-based or vegetarian claim would settle this.
Jafari — their opinion: an unspecified source does not need to be investigated, so these emulsifiers are allowed.
Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali — their opinion: the fat could be pork, so a plant or halal source must be confirmed and the product avoided until then.
