Is Granola L'Original halal?
Granola L'Original (LU) 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 Farine de BLÉ 36%, chocolat au LAIT 27 % [sucre, pâte de cacao — together with the additives declared on the pack, E322, E330, E476, E500, E503, 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.
