This is because not many producers in the west follow Islamic law for animal slaughter.

However, these animal-based enzymes – even if they’re not porcine – are likely haram. The main trouble for Muslim consumers is that this can be harvested from any ruminant mammal, including pork. This is because these enzymes are usually used to make rennet.Īs I mentioned earlier, rennet is an ingredient used to make cheese – it causes curds to form, and is made using enzymes harvested from an animal’s stomach. Porcine enzymes – meaning enzymes derived from pork – are, well, exactly that! They’re well known for infiltrating otherwise ’safe’ foods like chips and cheese. Now that we know gelatin isn’t in the mix, there’s a more likely suspect to discuss – porcine enzymes. As gelatin made otherwise innocuous candies unsuitable for vegetarians, it is sometimes assumed that must be the same reason why other unsuspecting foods break dietary restrictions. This common misconception was likely formed from the knowledge that certain sweets contain gelatin. You’ll certainly be glad to hear that Doritos – and pretty much all other chips – don’t contain any gelatin! However, this is a limited risk as most milk powder brands are halal certified. If looking for halal chips, it’s a good idea to be a little cautious as some milk powders may contain pig fat. While this is not suitable for vegans and may not be suitable for those following a Kosher diet, it is perfectly acceptable for vegetarians. I know what you’re thinking – milk powder, in CHIPS? The truth is that its more likely than you think! Milk powder, like cheese flavoring, undoubtedly comes from animals.For some peace of mind, Dorito’s parent brand Frito-Lays claims that animal-based seasonings are never hidden beneath the term ’natural flavoring’ and will always be explicitly stated for consumers. These types of seasonings are never vegetarian, and generally not reliably halal. For example, Nashville Hot Chicken flavored chips contain animal-based flavoring.

These ingredients are most often used on chips with, well, ’animal flavors’. Essentially, stocks made using real animals instead of vegetables.

The terms ’animal-based’ seasonings’ or ’animal-based flavorings’ are usually used to mean something like chicken stock.

Any cheese made using animal-based rennet is likely not halal and is definitely not vegetarian or vegan. It then goes on to make cheese – which, oh-so surprisingly, is a vital ingredient in the cheese powders and flavorings on your chips. Rennet, in most cases, is made by harvesting enzymes from the stomachs of ruminant mammals post-slaughter. And no, I don’t mean that some cheeses have big chunks of meat or something – I’m talking about rennet.

While we all know that cheese is an animal product, not everyone knows that cheese isn’t necessarily vegetarian.

Animal Products You’re Likely To Find In Chips So, lets break down what you should keep an eye out for when buying chips first. Similarly to Cheetos, many have wondered if Doritos are ‘safe’ to eat – some are concerned about pork enzymes, while others worry about any animal products at all! When it comes to halal status and vegetarianism, they’re far more cut and dry than trying to sus out hot Cheetos’ pork content.
