Is Twisties Zigzag Cheddar Halal?
MUSHBOOH
This cheesy corn snack is marked doubtful because it contains E635, a flavour enhancer whose source can be yeast or fish, but can also come from animal tissue, so the source needs verification. The cheese powder may also leave the cheese-enzyme source unclear. A halal mark or a reply from the manufacturer confirming E635 is non-animal would settle it.
