Assalamu alaikum,

Aww I went from to ...but I agree if you're in doubt, it's better to stay away from it, besides this kind of snacks aren't really healthy in my opinion as they contain high Monosodium Glutamate. I think they're classified as junkfood, aren't they?

Yes I have called the frito-lay company in the past, and I received the same reply. I found out from Al-Maghrib that Doritos are halal, and I guess they are. The Sheikh points out that it is too! So yeah....

I don't know sister though I found out over phone, and I told my fam to stop eating them too. Im giving them up for good though. WAY TOO MUCH FAT! LOL

 

[aisha16]

SAALAM

yes sister hurul-ein there in the junkfood category. Their wait too much fat. lol. I have to give them up, and I am.

Bye-Bye Cheeteos, and Doritos.

:salam2: So, at last they are not halal, so what about the fatwa?Even if I'm 31 I think I'm getting too old , information changes so quickly.

 

[Basicofislam]

:salam2: DORITOS ARE NOT HALAL> I CALLED THE COMPANY AND SPOKE TO THEM.Cause the enzyme they use come from pork. You have to keep an eye on the products you like and send your request to the company to make it halal. Like Jello used to be not halal. Now recently the company changed it. So all of the JELLO products are kosher.

assalam alaykom

i am not so sure about this issue but i think that any contamination with a haram prouduct to the food then the whole thing is haram to eat.

and if this thing is a "shobha" then it's better to avoid it.


one last thing, do these companies use the pork stuff in all countries they invest in. for instance in Egypt, does this apply here in the company's subsidiary.

jazakum allah khairan​

Assalamu alaikum,

Oh yeah! Good question! Coz I remember eating Doritos way back in KSA. So hmmmmm..

 

[aisha16]

OH WOW! lol

What's goin on here lol. So doritos are Harram. But the Sheikh yasir Qadhi said they are halal.
He is a well-known sheikh and is very good too in my opinion.

Hmm....

So it's halal, haraam.


What the heck is it.....

Im goin with the Sheikh Yasir's decision. With all do respect to the other brothers and sisters.
But im not going to eat them anymore. Its just now worth all the fuss....


ma saalam

 

[Salika]

AsalamuAlikum to all!!!!

A better way to know if the foods here are haram or halal is just by checking the package. If it has a U, or U with a D that is circled, or K for Kosher then it means that the product does not contain any ingredients from animals. I have checked many cheese products, and sadly, they don't have the letters.

:salam2: Mmmmmmmmm I've checked out at the supermarket looking for those letters this morning, i've found nothing similar. I guess this in the only country in the hole world when they don't care about nothing except the belgium bear and the french fries(they cook them not with oil but with animal fat beurk!)I'm wondering what can we really eat in Europe?

ps:i think I'll start making my Doritos by myself ,hehehhe

Yah it would be a bit healthier and HALAL to make chips yourself. Not doritos maybe but regular fries, and cook them in the oven and dont fry them, thatll be lots of fat.

AssalaamuAlaikum WRWB,

Sister and all,

There are something a contradictory to me in that link you have provided. The author says:

"Traditionally, only animal rennet was used in the manufacture of cheese. However, due to the high demand of cheese and the cost and difficulty associated with the production of animal rennet, more and more companies are turning to other sources for rennet."

According to my little info. I had searched some sources and found the opposite fact about a very big company which manufactures cheese. On the basis of that, I wrote the following small article:

About Cheese
Rennet is a yellow enzyme which is obtained from the stomach of infant calves and pigs.
According to some schools of thought such as Hanafi and Ahmad, the rennet obtained from non-Islamically slaughtered animal is ok, but for maliki and shaafa’ai schools of thought that rennet is Nijs (Filthy).
We did not inquire about the source of rennet in Korea. If any people think that in Korea, Rennet is obtained from calves then they should correct their opinion after reading the following response of Kraft cheese manufacturer:

____________________________________________________
"Thank you very much for asking if Kraft cheese products contain any animal derivatives. Our comments here apply only to products produced in the United States. Many cheese products produced in the United States do contain a coagulating enzyme derived from either beef or swine. The process of changing fluid milk into cheese consists of coagulating the milk by one of two commonly used methods, each resulting in cheese having distinct characteristics.

The most common method of coagulating milk is by the use of an enzyme preparation, rennet, which traditionally was made from the stomachs of veal calves. Since the consumption of calves for veal has not kept pace with the demand for rennet in the preparation of cheese, a distinct shortage of this enzyme has developed. Consequently, a few years ago it became a common practice to mix the rennet extract from calves' stomachs with a pepsin enzyme derived primarily from the stomachs of swine. These enzymes convert the fluid milk into a semi-solid mass as one of the steps in the manufacture of cheese. This mixture of calf rennet and pepsin extract is quite commonly and widely used within the United States.

A more recent development in this area has been the use of enzymes derived from the growth of pure cultures of certain molds. These are termed microbial rennets. They are commonly used for the production of certain types of cheese and contain no animal products. Kraft Domestic Swiss Cheese (any Kraft Swiss not labeled "Imported" from a foreign country) is made with microbial rennet. Apart from Kraft Domestic Swiss Cheese, it is almost impossible for us to assure you that any hard cheese product which you might purchase from Kraft or any other American source is absolutely free of animal-derived enzymes.”
