Is Nongshim Gourmet Spicy Halal?
MUSHBOOH
This is doubtful because the flavour enhancers E627 and E631 are often made from meat or fish, and the label does not state the source. If they come from pork or non-halal slaughtered animals, the product would not be permissible. The Korean-style allergen warning only says possible cross-contact; the main concern is the source of these enhancers.
