What we found about Baresa and halal
Baresa is a Lidl brand: Open Food Facts records the product we checked as sold at Lidl. Our products from this brand are pesto, tomato purée and wholewheat spaghetti. Pesto is the one to read, since some recipes use cheese made with animal rennet.
We found no halal statement from Lidl GB for its own-brand range, and no halal certificate for this brand. Own-brand products change supplier over time, so rely on the ingredient list and any certifier logo on the pack. Meat products need halal-certified meat.
