Arnott's Gluten Free Tiny Teddy Choc Chip 120g is mushbooh (doubtful): Animal-derived colours or flavours possible, Cheese rennet unspecified, Source-dependent additives — the manufacturer's response confirmed the doubt.
What's in doubt
Manufacturer reply
“Arnott's are currently not Halal certified. Small amounts of alcohol-based flavours (like vanilla essence) are added to sweet biscuits. We know alcohol is sensitive to heat and we believe the alcohol is evaporated during baking, but there is a slight possibility that trace amounts could still be present in the finished product.”
Animal-derived colours or flavours possible
Arnott's states that animal-based ingredients — including “potentially some colours or flavours” — are used throughout its bakeries, and will not confirm any individual product. This product declares flavours whose source Arnott's will not confirm.
Cheese rennet unspecified
This product declares cheese or dairy enzymes without naming the rennet source. Rennet can be animal- or microbially-derived, and Arnott's does not confirm ingredient sources.
Source-dependent additives
This product declares E476 — additives that can be made from animal or plant sources. Arnott's does not confirm ingredient sources, so their origin is unconfirmed.
