Asalam-o-alikum
to all my muslims brothers.
Recently I received an email from International frito-lay customer service centre.
IN that they mentioned that majority flavors are not halal.
below is an email of the frito-lay company

Thank you for contacting Frito-Lay. Unfortunately, none of our products are certified Halal. We hope the following information will be of some assistance when choosing Frito-Lay products.

A number of our cheese seasonings are made with animal enzymes. If you want to avoid these enzymes, you might want to avoid our snacks that list “cheese” and “whey” as ingredients. Only a few snacks have animal flavors and they will always be listed on the ingredient statement, never hidden under “natural flavors.”

We have a list of kosher snacks on our website. All the snacks listed are free of animal enzymes and flavors. You’ll find it in the “Your Health” section, under “For Special Dietary Needs.”

Our non-seasoned, salted-only snacks, such as Lay’s Classic, Ruffles Original, Fritos, Santitas, Tostitos, Original SunChips and Rold Gold Classic Style Pretzels, do not have enzymes of any kind.

Thank you again for choosing Frito-Lay snacks. We will continue to provide the information you need to make safe, great-tasting choices.

Best regards,

Listen all dears.
Through the research we have got 100 percent conclusion that lays chips are 100 percent pure and the material which have been used in lays chips is halal.
The questions which arises in your mind about the lays chips that the lays chips are haram and the pig fat is available in the lays chips, So it,s completely wrong.please erase these questions and purchase the lays chips.
Thanks
From Mr. Wasim to all Pakistanis

After research it has been proven that Lays are manufactured in Pakistan but the (taste Enhancer) that is used in it is brought from abroad which contain Pork. So it is now proved that Layz is HARAM to eat.

Let me tell you that taste enhancer is either made of vegetable or Meat, and it was tested that “taste enhancer used for Lays are of meet” and the cheapest fat is of PORK for making this taste enhancer. Now what is the doubt left????/

I appeal all muslims to stay away from LAYS and promote your ow country’s HALAL FOOD

Assalamualaikum,
I think that effort should be made to make a final conclusion about these reports whether they are correct or not. As we are muslims and eating halal is important and a must clause for our prayers to be accepted by ALLAH RABBULALAMEEN . plus eating Pig is not allowed in Islam becuse it makes people shameless and get them far away from our true Lord. So I request all the members or who ever is the part of this chain whether you do research or whatever! Please show the truth

I like the arguments from both who are in favor and those who are against. But I would like to ask Ms Humeira Aslam if she is spokesperson for Lays Pakistan or is Mr. Imran a spokesperson for a competitor company of Lays? if not, and if you both don’t have any vested interest in this topic then thank you guys for providing in depth info/knowledge about this topic!

I am not into this debate of Haram/Halal but I would like to ask us that can’t we live without eating yet another product of a multinational company? We are already under heavy debt and every pakistani owes ~ little under $1000 to the lenders and one of the main reasons of this debt is the loan in the form of the establishment of subsidiaries of these mutinational companies. We are already a big consumer society who loves to buy “foreign ka item” and hates to buy indigneous products and behave and look like an indigneous. Can’t we eat local made chips or they are less tasty and/or unhealthy?

It’s not just about Lays, there are hundreds of other food, health, cosmetics etc products that are suspicious but being consumed with great pride becuase either those are made “not in pakistan” or by not by a pakistani company.

I understand that many multinational companies have invested in our country and have provided jobs to a good portion of the population but in return they have funneled Billions of (Billion with a ‘B’) dollars abroad. If that money had stayed with in the country then todays over all economical condition of pakistan would have been entirely different.

Anway, I think I just tried to make a point here. Any comments are welcomed!
