Is Instant Dry Yeast Halal?

MUSHBOOH

Sorbitan monostearate (INS 491) can come from plant or animal fat, and the label gives no source; a plant-based or halal-source declaration would settle it.

Jafari — their opinion: an unstated source need not be investigated, so it is allowed.

Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali — their opinion: because the fat could be pork, a plant or halal source must be confirmed, so it remains doubtful.
