The Ruling on Imported Canned Cheeses
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There has been much debate regarding imported cheeses, such as "The Laughing Cow," Kerry, Kraft, and others. Some have stated that they are forbidden because they contain a percentage of pork fat. What is your opinion on this, Your Eminence?
Answer:
We wrote to the Minister of Trade, and he clarified that they are safe and that they contain nothing [impermissible].
The original presumption is safety and purity, unless something is proven with certainty. The Minister of Trade states that these items are carefully monitored and do not contain anything related to pork.
