Is Gelato Cone Halal?
MUSHBOOH
It has shellac (E904) on the coating, and that insect-derived shine is the reason it is flagged. A carnauba-wax or other plant coating would settle it.
Hanafi, Maliki — their opinion: a natural secretion is allowed, so they permit shellac as a clean secretion.
Shafi — they find it disliked because it is better to avoid an insect-derived coating.
Jafari, Hanbali — their opinion: insect derivatives are not allowed, so it should be avoided.
