Al-salamu alaykum,

I never was in the habit of calling food and pharmaceutical companies to check whether their gelatin ingredients are derived from pork or not, but recently I heard that the multivitamins my family and I are using have pork gelatin, so I called the company to make sure. The question is: should I tell others about this so they avoid it too? A lot of them have no idea. What am I supposed to do?

Jazak Allah khayr.

It is well known in Islamic Law that the complete transformation changes the characteristics of the ingredients, and consequently, the ruling on consuming them.
