Q: Is Whey Protein Halal?

Most scholars and certifiers accept whey protein as halal. The doubts are the rennet used in the original cheese, gelatine in some capsules or blends, and added flavourings. Many protein brands carry halal certification — that is the easiest choice.

Whey and rennet

Whey is a by-product of cheese. Most scholars accept it even when animal rennet was used, because the rennet is a tiny processing aid. A stricter view wants whey from microbial-rennet cheese.

Other ingredients

Check for gelatine (in some blends and capsules), collagen and alcohol-based flavourings.
