I have bought Pasco Pan roll (超熟ロールパン) by mistake.
In the ingredients, there are no emulsifier or shortening, however there are "processed oils" in japanese "加工油". Processed oils may be haram if the source is from animal.
so, I wrote an email to Pasco to ask about the origin of the oils, but unfortunately, they said that they cannot answer my question.
this is their email:
Shortening and emulsifier are made from almost vegetable oil on products of Pasco. Generally speaking, most bakery ingredients contain some amount of those items coming from animal fat, e.g. emulsifier, shortening, etc. Besides, it is very difficult to say what items are free from animal fat. We are very sorry we can not answer you exactly which items fit your needs because most of the Japanese bakery ingredients have great opportunities to contain animal fat or even have a chance of contamination in the ingredients.
so, I searched in the website of Pasco and this is what I found here http://www.pasconet.co.jp/community/index_faq.html
加工油脂は何の油ですか。
|
 | | 私どもの商品に使用している「加工油脂」は、大豆油、パーム油、菜種油、コーン油、魚油、豚脂などの各種食用油脂を混合したマーガリンなどの製パン用油脂です。植物性の油脂のみ使用した場合と植物性と動物性を混合している場合があります。 | |
the meaning of what is written in japanese is: " the processed oils in all Pasco Pan can contain
vegetable oils and animal fats and precisely from
pig and fish"
So as a conclusion, all products of Pasco are Haram(forbidden).
