Is Sprinkle Cookie Halal?
MUSHBOOH
The sprinkles contain shellac, a lac-beetle secretion used as a shiny coating; a carnauba-wax coating would avoid this question.
Hanafi, Maliki — their opinion: shellac is a natural secretion like honey, so it is allowed.
Shafi — they find it disliked because it comes from a lac beetle, so avoiding it is better.
Jafari, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: shellac comes from an insect, so it should be avoided.
