Is Rainbow Popcorn Halal?
HALAL
It contains carmine, a red colour made from crushed cochineal insects, which is not permitted by most schools; a product using synthetic red colours instead avoids the issue.
Maliki — their opinion: carmine is allowed because insects have no flowing blood.
Hanafi, Shafi, Jafari, Zaydi, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: colour made from insects is not allowed, so it should be avoided.
