Is French Onion Soup Mix Halal?
MUSHBOOH
The E635 flavour enhancer is the doubtful part here, because the label does not say whether the ribonucleotides come from yeast, fish, or a pork source.
Hanafi — they allow it because the process transforms it, so the new substance is considered allowed.
Shafi, Maliki, Jafari, Hanbali, Zaydi, Ibadi — they say the source should be named, so when it is not stated they avoid it.
