Is Imitation Chocolate Halal?
HARAM
It contains carmine (E120), a red colour made from crushed cochineal insects; a halal mark or a different colour such as beta-carotene would settle the concern.
Maliki — their opinion: insects without flowing blood may be eaten, so this colour is allowed.
Hanafi, Shafi, Jafari, Hanbali — their opinion: colour made from insects is not permitted as food, so it should be avoided.
