Is Protein Bar Cookie & Cream Flavour halal?

Doubtful (mushbooh)

Protein Bar Cookie & Cream Flavour (Ironmaxx Nutrition GmbH & Co.) is mushbooh — doubtful — on our automated check. At least one entry on its record is a substance whose raw material can be animal-derived, and the label does not say which source was used, so the answer depends on information the packaging does not carry. The check read its ingredient list — which opens with Milk protein mixture (concentrated milk protein, milk protein isolate, calcium caseinate (milk)) — together with the additives declared on the pack, E322, E422, E955, E965, and resolved every E-number against our additive dataset. A halal mark on this specific pack, or the manufacturer confirming the raw material behind the flagged substance, would settle it — the doubt is about sourcing, not about the substance being forbidden.

Automated classification, not a religious ruling. No scholar or certification body has reviewed this assessment — always check the product's own halal certification.
