Is Light Sponge Cake Halal?
MUSHBOOH
It contains vegetable emulsifiers E422, E471 and E475; E471-type fats may be plant-based or animal-based, including pork. No labelling law requires the source of E471, so look for a plant declaration, vegetarian claim, or halal mark.
Jafari, Zaydi — their opinion: an unstated source does not have to be investigated, so the emulsifier is allowed.
Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the fat could be pork, so a plant or halal source must be confirmed; without that, it should be avoided.
