What needs attention

  • DoubtfulWine vinegar

    Scholars differ. The Hanafi view allows vinegar made from wine however it was made; the Shafi'i view allows it only if the wine turned to vinegar by itself; Hanbali and Maliki scholars do not allow wine to be turned into vinegar on purpose. Doubtful in the general setting, halal in the Hanafi setting.

  • DoubtfulCheese

    Depends on the rennet. Many UK supermarket cheddars use microbial rennet and are labelled vegetarian; Parmesan and Grana Padano always use animal rennet.
