LAHORE: Justice Irfan Qadir of the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Thursday dismissed a petition challenging the use of a colour extracted from pig fat in a renowned brand of potato chips available in the market.

The petition was moved by a citizen, Muhammad Yousaf Ansari. The petitioner submitted that ingredients of the chips included a colour E-631, which was allegedly extracted from pig fat. He said a research conducted by an American scientist, Dr Amjad Khan, proved that the colour was prepared from pig fat. He said such a product was prohibited in Islam and also by the constitution, and its sale should be stopped immediately.
