What are the substances added to food that make it unlawful (haram), and what is the ruling on foods to which Chinese seasonings (ve-tsin) containing enzymes or protein from pigs have been added, and is it possible to provide a list of unlawful substances added to foods?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Foods that are permissible become forbidden if a prohibited substance, such as pork, is added to them, even if the amount is small or it is listed under a different name. A Muslim must be diligent in examining their food. If there are unknown ingredients in the composition of foods, they must inquire about them or avoid them out of piety.
