What Alternative Chips Can You Consume That Do Not Contain Rennet?Īccording to the response we received from PepsiCo, the following chips do not contain animal enzymes. Therefore, it is not safe to assume that the rennet extracted, used in Doritos chips, is extracted and used from an animal that has been slaughtered in accordance to Islamic guidelines. It is generally agreed that for the consumption of any meat to be considered halal, the slaughtered animal must be done in a halal manner. While many people pay attention to eating beef derived Gelatin, it’ss easy to lose sight of the extraction of rennet and if it was done in a halal way.
If it is not listed, then it is not safe to assume that the ingredient is halal.
Therefore, when looking at an ingredient list of any food, pay attention to the source of the animal enzyme. As most people know, consuming pork products or any product containing any remains from pigs is classified as haram. Rennet can be extracted from cattle or pigs. Two things make Rennet a non-halal substance 1- Rennet Can Be Extracted from Pigs Rennet is extracted by the stomach of a calf or an animal ( source). PepsiCo Consumer Relations Representative Animal Enzymes Is What Makes Doritos Chips QuestionableĪs per our research, animal enzymes which are also known as animal rennet, is an an enzyme the food industry uses to prepare cheese by curdling milk. We will continue to provide the information you need to make safe, great-tasting choices. Thank you again for choosing Frito Lay snacks. Our non-seasoned, salted-only snacks, such as Lay’s Classic, Ruffles Original, Fritos, Tostitos, Original SunChips and Rold Gold Pretzels, do not have enzymes of any kind. Only a few snacks have animal flavours and they will be listed on the ingredient statement, not hidden under “natural flavours.” If you want to avoid these enzymes, you might want to avoid our snacks that list “cheese” and “whey” as ingredients. All our Doritos flavors, have animal enzymes except Doritos Bold BBQ and Doritos Sweet Chili Heat. Thank you, much appreciated!! Halal Guidance Team I wanted to know if any of the Doritos Chips are halal? if not, what’s the ingredient used that does not qualify it to be halal?
We wanted to find a concrete answer as to whether Doritos are halal or not. Similar to our recent article, are cheetos halal, we took the same approach here and decided to contact PepsiCo (the owner of the Doritos brand). This includes both the Doritos Bold BBQ and Doritos Sweet Chili Heat. This is because they contain animal enzymes. According to PepsiCo’s Consumer Relations Representative, not all Dorito Chips are Halal.
