Walkers
This page relates to Walkers, a Walkers brand.
Please see below for a list of products suitable for Vegetarians and another list for Vegetarians with no Ethanol. The scholars regard Ethanol as permissible to consume, therefore it is halal to consume the products in the first list. However, we have also presented the list of products that contain ethanol for those who reserve the opinion is it haram (minority). Please see the post is Ethanol halal?

I love cheese n onion. Let me know if they decide to go haram!
If someone presented a mix bowl of crisps.. and say you ate them and later found out some of them were pork. Is it haram?
Salam Brother
If the crisps contained pork, then they are unequivocally haram, however if it was flavouring (not derived from pigs) then it won’t be considered haram, but still disliked.
As one was not aware, no sin is upon them, however it gives thought to ensuring what we eat is halal beforehand.
Is flame grilled steak halal
Salam, Yes
Asalam walaikum thank you for doing a great job and informing the Muslim jummah but I have come across the walkers max strong range can you clarify if they are halal or not they have animal Renner in the jalapeno and cheese one and there is also hot chicken wings anf chilli and lime flavour
Salam,
We can confirm the following are halal:
Walkers MAX Strong Chilli & Lime Flavour
Walkers MAX Strong Wasabi Flavour
What about the max strong jalapeño and cheese flavour?
Salam, the mentioned crisps are haram. Do you think people will benefit from a haram tab?
We did not want to declare products as haram, as there is sometimes a difference of opinion, either in ingredients or school of thought.
Maybe a tab which says doubtful or contains such and such
Fobbiding eating pork is an order by Allah Ta ala so eating it as flavor shouldn’t be thought of.
Hi, ehatsvthe ingredient in max strong jalapeño and cheese flavour which makes it haram..?!

I’ve stumbled across your site whilst researching the use of ethanol in food products (specifically Walkers crisps), and hope you can help…
Are crisps (or other food products) that contain ethanol, permissible to eat for Muslims? I have recently discovered that Walkers Sensations contain ethanol, and possibly Walkers Max Paprika too.
What’s the Hanafi fiqh regarding this please?
Jazak’Allah khayr
Salam, because the amount of the synthetic alcohol is minute and also is not derived from dates or grapes, they will be permissible to consume.
asalam allaykom
