Praise be to Allah.Shaykh Muhammad 
    al-‘Uthaymeen said: the basic principle concerning all foods and drinks is 
    that they are permissible unless there is evidence to show that they are 
    forbidden, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

    “He it is Who created for you all that is on earth. Then 
    He rose over (Istawa) towards the heaven and made them seven heavens and He 
    is the All-Knower of everything” [al-Baqarah 2:29]

    And because the Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah 
    be upon him) said: “What I keep quiet about is permissible,” then he 
    recited: 

    “Say (O Muhammad): I find not in that which has been 
    revealed to me anything forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, 
    unless it be Maytah (a dead animal) or blood poured forth (by slaughtering 
    or the like), or the flesh of swine (pork); for that surely, is impure or 
    impious (unlawful) meat (of an animal) which is slaughtered as a sacrifice 
    for others than Allaah (or has been slaughtered for idols, or on which 
    Allaah’s Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering)” 

    [al-An’aam 6:145 – interpretation of the meaning].

    (Narrated by Abu Dawod, al-At’imah, 3306). Al-Albaani 
    said in Saheeh Sunan Abi Dawood, its isnaad is saheeh. No. 3225.  
If we do not know that 
    this thing is haraam, either from a clear statement [in the Qur’aan or 
    Sunnah] to that effect or because it comes under a general shar’i 
    prohibition, or by proper analogy that dictates that it is haraam, then it 
    is halaal. This is the basic principle concerning food, drink, clothing and 
    customs.  

    (Fataawa Manaar al-Islam, 3/647). 

    On this basis it is permissible to eat them so long as it is 
    not proven that their ingredients include anything that that is known in 
    sharee’ah to be haraam. And Allaah knows best.
