Is Hershey's Milk Chocolate Halal?

Q: Is Hershey's Milk Chocolate halal?

Hershey's Milk Chocolate is MUSHBOOH. The mono- and diglycerides (E471) may come from plant oil or animal fat, including pork; the label gives no source, and no labelling rule requires it to. A plant-source or vegetarian claim would settle this. Jafari — their opinion: an unspecified source need not be investigated, so it is allowed. Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali — their opinion: the fat could be pork, so a plant or halal source must be confirmed; otherwise they treat it as doubtful. Follow your own scholar.
