Is Goldfish Crackers Halal?

DOUBTFUL

Quick Answer

Some flavors contain animal enzymes.

Detailed Explanation

What is it?

Goldfish Crackers is a popular snack.

Why it may be doubtful

Pepperidge Farm Goldfish (like the classic Cheddar flavor) use cheese that may be produced with animal rennet. Because the source of the rennet is not guaranteed to be microbial or zabiha, they are doubtful. The plain pretzel or graham varieties are usually safe.

Fiqh considerations

General Islamic dietary principles require that ingredients be free from non-Zabiha meat, insects, and intoxicating alcohol.

Practical advice

Always read the latest ingredient label or use the allhalal.info scanner app, as manufacturers frequently change their recipes. Look for certified vegan or halal symbols where possible.
