  1. ferrero rocher i think is haram. Not because of the alcohol flavouring but because of the whey powder that it contains. refer:

  2. I'm not a Muslim, but it seems that different Islamic scholars have different opinions on whey powder. Some scholars believe that calf rennet (used in the making of cheese and whey powder) is halal (because it is not "dead"), while others believe it should be considered haram for purposes of consumption (because it might be contaminated with moisture from the stomach of an animal). In that case its halal/haram status is approximately equivalent to that of cheese.

    In any case it seems that the whey powder used in Ferrero Rocher is not derived from pork products - they use calf rennet, not pig rennet. So it is not "definitely haram".

  4. For Muslims, Pig is absolutely Haram.

    But in case of cattle/cow/chicken, they turn out to be Halal or Haram.
    If they are being slaughtered, then they would become Halal.
    But if they are not slaughtered, they would become Haram.
