Is Läderach Chocolate Halal?
HALAL
This chocolate contains shellac (E904), a lac-beetle secretion used as a shiny coating; a carnauba-wax coating would avoid the concern.
Hanafi, Maliki — their opinion: Allowed, because it is a natural secretion rather than the insect itself.
Shafi — they find it disliked because it comes from an insect secretion, so avoiding it is better.
Jafari, Zaydi, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: Not allowed, because it comes from insects.
