The basic principle regarding things is permissibility until proof of prohibition is established. Therefore, there is no harm in consuming what contains the mentioned substance, unless it is proven that it is derived from a forbidden animal, such as a pig, or from a permissible animal that was not slaughtered according to Islamic law, or if this is highly probable.
