I haven't eaten them in a while but I saw it in the vending machine today and such a craving. It's a temptation. Does anybody know if its Halaal in the US?
Also, beware of certian E numbers. Particularly E471, which is an emulsifier that in some cases derives from (haram) animal fat.
The 'Suitable for Vegetarian' thing doesn't mean you shouldn't use common sense - for instance, certain boxes of chocolates might be suitable for vegetarians because there are no animal extracts, but they might contain alcohol, which will be mentioned in the ingredients.
They don't have that label unfortunately. UK has much Muslim concentration, so people put those down. In the US, may Allah cure us, our Muslim siblings pick up what they want. It becomes Halaal when they say Bismillah before eating it. :X
I say this in disgust, because we had a Halaal official KFC near my house. Later they changed it back to non-Halaal. It's not worth it, apparently.

Well, it's more for the benefit of vegetarians. For Muslims, it's a matter of knowing which ingredients to avoid. Generally, if something is suitable for vegetarians, Muslims can eat it too (unless it contains alcohol for instance).

They say Bismillah and eat, say, a ham sandwich?
The people I know only 'do a Bismillah' when they accidentally drop some food on the floor.
A thought - just because it doesn't have porcine enzymes doesn't mean to doesn't have enzymes from other animals that were not slaughtered islamically. I'd note that cheetos aren't listed as kosher, so my suspicion is that there are other meat derived products hidden somewhere amist the chemically sounding names/enzymes.
I do a lot of my shopping at coops and natural food stores - lots more vegetarian options, less additives that may be alcohol derivatives, etc.
