While we didn’t find any haram elements in our analysis of Funyun’s ingredients list or processing methods, without an official certification stating they’re Halal-approved products, one should proceed cautiously. Resources

As for the chips — they taste, expectedly and pleasingly, like Tapatío. Not too much, not too little, and they’re not particularly spicy. They’re good eating, but if you’re looking for a bag full of pain, these don’t deliver. 12) Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Limón To evaluate if Funyuns contain pork, we need to scrutinize every ingredient. Based on current knowledge: Fun fact: There’s a market, apparently, for Cheetos that are shaped like things. Take this one, which is shaped like Super Mario, claims the buyer. Or this one, which someone thinks resembles the late gorilla Harambe. The point is, there are some dumb people out there.

Contains Milk Ingredients.Not even a little bit. Jayson Tatum’s mom wouldn’t even buy these. 14. Ruffles Flamin’ Hot Baked Dane Rivera However, the recipe also contains some questionable ingredients that might raise eyebrows. Potential Pork-Derived Components The primary ingredients used to make Funyuns include cornmeal enriched with ferrous sulfate and niacinamide among others. Are Flamin’ Hot Funyuns different from regular ones when considering their halal status? I thought Funyuns were haraam. They are so addictive and they taste delicious. Amazingly, a potato chip can be compared to the Egyptian Funyun. – Samih

I do not like Trader Joe’s. Despite widespread adoration and support for the German-owned chain, I am not charmed. Nor am I charmed by these chips. They are weak. These are made from ghost peppers? More like Casper the Friendly Ghost peppers, because these are some of the mildest chips I’ve ever eaten! (*extends hand for high five*) These are oddly sweet and possess virtually no heat whatsoever. Thumbs down. 29) Baked Flamin’ Hot Cheetos So, if you want to lose weight then you should stay away from such foods. The ingredients used in the Funyuns are not good for your health. Is it halal to eat Funyuns on Safar?It is an almost common question among Muslims whether the Funyuns contain alcohol. The answer to this question is that they don’t. There is no alcohol in the recipe of the Funyuns. Are there any Muslims that believe Funyuns are haram? One of these is monosodium glutamate (MSG), which can sometimes be sourced from pork. Another is natural flavors; the term is vague and could potentially include meat derivatives. And smells like! There is a certain staleness to the way Ruffles Flamin’ Hot Baked smells — it’s weird. Anyway, there isn’t a single appealing thing about this chip. Alas… I’m just not convinced about this form factor — which is halfway between a chip and a corn puff. They’re a little too soft for my linking and dissolve in the mouth in a mushy way. Now we’re finally getting into the good stuff. When I opened Ruffles Flamin’ Hot Cheddar I fully expected to hate them, as this bag of chips had that familiar fart-y smell that so many chip brands suffer from. But as soon as I bit into this chip I was onboard, the cheddar cheese dust pairs nicely with the Flamin’ Hot flavor, offering you something similar to the OG Flamin’ Hot Cheetos in a more dippable and less embarrassing form factor

I was wondering for a long time if the Funyuns are halal or haram. Now I know they are halal and it’s good news because everyone knows how good they taste, like my wife and son who don’t eat pork. – Idris FAQs Are there any animal-based ingredients in Funyuns? Now don’t get me wrong, spicy food is great. I put hot sauce on my eggs, extra cayenne and jalapeño brine in my chili, I put jalapeños in pretty much any dish they’re appropriate, get the spicy wings and and red pepper flakes at pizza places, and consume probably an inordinate amount of spicy ramen. I’m no wuss. I even admittedly like the Flaming Hot Lay’s potato chips, but that’s cause they still have to potato chip flavor to them. As a Muslim who loves eating Funyuns, I find the information about them to be very useful. Thank you for providing this valuable information to fellow Muslim readers. – Shereem Siddiquee They’re also incredibly satisfying — you can have six or seven puffs and satiate your Flamin’ Hot cravings easily.This signifies that if a person uses caution when eating a substance, then he or she can eat the item. Onions are halal as long as the person uses caution while eating it. It doesn’t really deliver on the Flamin’ Hot spice, but it’s overall a good chip flavor. 6. Cheetos Flamin’ Hot Original Dane Rivera Well, if you can’t have the trademark to “Flamin’ Hot®,” you may as well take “Blazin’ Hot®.” If these feel like a weak, disappointing version of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, it’s because they are. Not that there’s anything wrong with being derivative — sometimes it can actually be better than what preceded it. Look at NSYNC; look at Aristotle; look at “The Godfather Part II.”

The share of this question by Muslims is not big as numbers of people eating Funyuns; however, it shows that they are an important part of our daily lives. Why are Funyuns halal? With the Flamin’ Hot Puffcorn, it’s easy to see where the obsession comes from. Puffcorn, which, save for its uneven, round-ish shape, is not at all like popcorn, texturewise falls somewhere between a Cheeto puff and a marshmallow. It’s oddly addicting. The corn puffs melt in your mouth practically without chewing. They’re not very fiery, but the eating experience is akin to something like eating spicy cereal. The dark horse of the Flamin’ Hot world. 9) Xxtra Flamin’ Hot Cheetos The Turbos Flamas are like spiral-shaped Takis, with more of a corn flavor and slightly less of the spice-lime coating. The spiral is a more pleasurable munching experience texturally, and the flavor of corn in these is more prominent. There’s a pretty substantial heat in these that sneaks up behind you, like your jury service date or Tax Day. Once it arrives, your complacency melts away and you’re left dealing with the consequences. 8) Chester’s Flamin’ Hot PuffcornLays makes a dozen great potato chip flavors, get any of those over this. 12. Doritos Flamin’ Hot Nacho Dane Rivera But that would be a mistake, because these have it all: heat, texture, crunch and flavor. As well as an inspiring origin story. Ricardo Montañez, who was working at Frito-Lay as a janitor, approached the CEO with an idea — what if you made spicy Cheetos? Basing it on the elote model of corn, cheese, chili and lime, Montañez began testing the product in stores in East L.A and soon realized he had a hit on his hands. Years and many millions in sales later, Flamin’ Hot products are everywhere and Montañez is a vice president at the company. That’s pretty cool, right? 5) Takis Fuego (tie) Some argue that the main ingredient of Funyuns is onions. And because onions are considered haram by some, then Funyuns must be haram. However, this argument is not correct. Onions are impure, but it does not mean that a product or food item made from onions can never be halal. The Qur’an says in chapter 5 verse 102: “But its touch is never forbidden to any of them so long as they use caution. Surely God is All-reverent, All-aware.” Cheetos Flamin’ Hot Limon was definitely a response to the rising popularity of Fuego Takis. Overall, I think the balance of heat and lime works better here, the lime flavoring isn’t quite as sour, though that may be because it’s being balanced by powdered cheddar. But Cheetos Flamin’ Hot Limon isn’t just better than Takis Fuego, it’s better than every genuine Flamin’ Hot product on the market. On the nose, the Limon flavor has a zesty spiced aroma that far surpasses the smell offered by every other flavor in the Flamin’ Hot line — it’s actually appetizing, which can’t be said for most of these chips.
