If you verify yourself or through the testimony of trustworthy individuals that foods contain forbidden ingredients, you must warn Muslims about them, due to the Almighty's saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression," and due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Religion is [sincere] advice... and for the leaders of the Muslims and their common folk." Start by warning Muslim merchants; if they do not respond, then warn the general Muslim public. It is not permissible for you to spread something whose authenticity you do not know.
