Is Maltesers Chocolate Halal?
MUSHBOOH
The label lists flavour without specifying its carrier, so a tiny alcohol-based or unspecified carrier cannot be ruled out; an alcohol-free or qualified flavour declaration would settle it.
Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki — their opinion: the trace transforms during processing, so it is allowed.
Jafari, Hanbali, Ibadi — they find it disliked because the carrier is unclear, so it is better avoided.
