Why This Recipe is Halal

Vegetarian ingredients — no meat means no halal slaughter concerns.
Butter is typically halal as it’s dairy-based.
Cheese is the only ingredient requiring halal verification.

A Closer Look at the Ingredients

Small swaps make a big difference. Here’s what to look for when you shop.

Cheese rennet

What to watch for: Processed cheese may contain animal-derived rennet, which may be non-halal.

The halal solution: Use cheese labeled ‘microbial rennet’ or ‘vegetable rennet’ to ensure it’s halal.
