Cheetos have pork....

I recently started to think about this, especially after reading an old thread.

If someone invited you to dinner and just before dipping your roti into the karhai chicken, the host stood up, took a teaspoon and dropped some pig fat into your plate, would you continue to eat it? I know I sure wouldnt, but for some reason I seem to be so non-chalant about buying products that may contain pig fat and stuff.

Title PORK IN ALL DORITOS & CHEETOS

Event Date Thu Apr 05 12:49:45 CDT 2007

Ms. Vicki of Frito Lay at 1-800-352-4477 has informed MCG that all Frito Lay cheese seasoning containing products such as **all Doritos and Cheetos **are made with PORK rennet enzyme. We also received e-mails from Br. Salman Sheik, Br Vernon Williams and sister Saadia Idrees, they called the same above 800 number and got the same information.

We are telling our Muslim consumers since 1991 through Halal food books and through our website since 2000 that Doritos and Cheestose are not Halal because they do not have a Halal or Kosher symbol on their package.

Please avoid all cheese seasoning containing products from Frito Lay Company including all cheetose and Doritos.

Re: Cheetos have pork....

this isn't pork fat. pork rennet enzyme is like droping a a DROP of something in a pool....

examples used at why it's fine is that if a dog pees in the lake..that doesnt mean the entire lake is haram...it's such a small amount in a huge amount it doesn't make it haram..further the enzyme is processed created from pork and changes chemically...and then is used to create another chemical reactions...
very different from direct pork in a product.

Re: Cheetos have pork....

amelie, I can understand not everyone will agree.

However, a dog using a bathroom on a veggie field is not deliberate. Factories putting pork products in food is deliberate.

I'm going to avoid it either way. Of course there may be many things I eat with such things unknowingly or unwittingly, but now that I know about this I'm gonna avoiddddddd atleast this.

Not to mention, junkfood in general is not good for your health.

Re: Cheetos have pork....

Blah, doritos and cheetos are bad for ya anyway

Re: Cheetos have pork…

i got an email about cheetos …

I couldnt help but ask myself…the medicine we take has alcohol in it…does that make all meds haram?

hmmm something to ponder :hmmm:

Re: Cheetos have pork....

i dnt think so... cuz arent u just using tht to heal or watever.. ur not consuming it for the sake of eating.. i maybe wrong .. but it makes life too tough to not use any medicine

Re: Cheetos have pork…

for some it makes life too tough to not eat cheetos/doritos etc :bummer:

Re: Cheetos have pork…

Its easy..just die :lifey:

Re: Cheetos have pork…

if there is a drop of urine in your water supply would you readily drink it?

i agree with you munni :k:

Re: Cheetos have pork....

You probably already do!

Depending on where you live and what your water supply standards are ....what is actually allowed to be consumed as potable water does allow for a certain "parts per million" ratio of things that you probably would hate to know about.

Re: Cheetos have pork…

Simply quit doritos etc. and the like… :k:

Re: Cheetos have pork....

hahah correct
all someone has to do it look at their municipal water supply report in detail :D

Re: Cheetos have pork....

i just spoke to someone in customer service at Frito Lay. they're going to send me a list of their products that DON'T contain pork rennet. i'll post it on here when i get it- should take a week i would think.

Re: Cheetos have pork....

shabaash

Re: Cheetos have pork…

:aq: come on is that any sort of answer? So you’ll have no trouble drinking water in a glass that has drop of urine in it?
no one is going to die without doritos or cheetos and whether one wants to go along eating them or not is their choice. But staying away from them has pretty good reasons.
