:salam2: my brother and sisters
recently, i found out that Doritos ( they are my fav thing to eat) and Cheetos, are haram aparently it has something to be with the enzymes being used to make cheese are taken from pig, now im confuse cuz people who have taken chemistry now that enzyme only help speed up the reaction they are not part of the product, So can we still say that that cheese is haram?? also in many products including milk and stuff enzymes are taken from animals, you cant say we cant drink milk now? cuz well first of all we can take enzyme without slaughtering animal so it could be from any animal.

Also, if anyone here knows how bread is made, the step of Leavening (Leavening is the process of adding gas to a dough before or during baking to produce a lighter, more easily chewed bread. Most bread consumed in the West is leavened) uses yeast, one of the thing that yeast makes is alcohol as its by product, but when the bread is done the alcohol evaporates.

So wouldn't this cheese be under the same category? also is bread haram then cuz Alcohol is there in the process in the making of it?

Please shed some light on this subject my knowledgable brothers/sisters

I know what you are talking about I used to eat doritos and was very upset that it would contain pork.

Here is the link to website that the manufacture made available to reflect the products that are not made with porcine enzym:

for bread I don't think they have the alcohol that is intoxicating type. As you know Alcohol is a general term used methyl something, there is a brother that posted on the forum that is up to date with chemistry. Me I forgot.

God I feel like everything they sell in super market is haram every time I go shopping I spend long time reading the ingredient I know most the cheeses and ice creams has enzym
Should we avoid everything has enzym or porcine enzym or they are both the same?

But if the cheese says (cheese cultures) in brackets after it, isn't that alright? I know that when my parents were in the West before, everyone said not to eat anything with cheddar cheese in it, because they were making it directly from animals/pigs. But later on, all the food items started having cheese cultures in it, and then the muslim community said it was now okay to eat it. I don't get it.
