Are Mini Cheddars Halal?

Quick answer It depends

Mini Cheddars contain no meat or gelatine, and some flavours have been listed by UK halal guides as suitable for vegetarians, which would mean the cheese uses non-animal rennet. They are not halal-certified. The pack does not name the rennet, so look for a vegetarian label on the flavour you buy.

The cheese question

Mini Cheddars contain dried cheese and whey. Whether cheese is halal depends on the rennet used to make it: microbial or vegetable rennet is halal; animal rennet from calves not slaughtered Islamically is a concern for many Muslims. A vegetarian label rules out animal rennet. See is cheese halal?

Flavours

Flavours such as Original, Red Leicester and BBQ differ. Some halal guides have questioned particular flavours, such as Branston Pickle, in the past. Check each pack.

Mini Cheddars are made by Jacob's in the UK.
