Is doritos haram

Answer 1

nope its haram...i called the frito lay company. the lady said they use pork enzymes

I would have to disagree to the previous answers. It is not sufficient enough and leads to other questions.

In order to answer this questions you asked your self, if a chemical reaction has taken place regarding all enzymes from non halal animals. This answer also depends on which Marja you follow. As regard to the chemical change: If the enzyme used goes through a chemical process such that it completely changes the composition of the enzyme it is halal. There are also more components to this questions, but generally speaking this is sufficient enough. So the other question that you must ask is, has the product gone through a complete chemical change (Istahalak)? Now the company of the product you are inquiring about most likely will not know this unless they have done a DNA composition test on the before and after of the processing of the product. However, I am sure that you can find someone online that has done that.

Now if you live in the United States, most Marja will tell you that for items most would believe not to have animal products you are not required to research them. For example, most soups have a base of some type of meat stock. This is well known by most. So Muslims check the ingredients and this is shown to be true. Now if one where to pick up an item such as juice or bread common items that would not typically contain meat product BUT contain enzymes or other minute ingredients you are NOT required to go further and check where each enzyme comes from.

There are many ingredients such as pepsin, animal fat and such that are obvious. The not so obvious typically Istahalak takes place.

You will find that you will not only exhaust yourself but not be able to eat much in this country if you "research everything" Unless it states obvious ingredients don't tire yourself. Allah knows best.
