Is Mac & Cheese Halal?
MUSHBOOH
The cheeses contain enzymes, which may be animal rennet, and the package gives no halal or microbial-rennet confirmation; a microbial, vegetable-rennet, or vegetarian declaration would settle it.
Hanafi, Jafari, Zaydi — their opinion: calf rennet remains pure even without confirmed halal slaughter, so it is allowed.
Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the rennet should come from a halal-slaughtered animal or a microbial source, so this should be avoided.
