Short answer
Food whose halal status is certain remains halal unless clear evidence prohibits it.

Summary
Food whose halal status is certain remains halal unless clear evidence prohibits it. Doubt does not affect halal status, based on the maxims that certainty is not removed by doubt and that things remain as they were originally. The buyer should still check the ingredients, and if they are free from pork and other prohibited substances, the food is halal.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berdasarkan nas dan penghujahan di atas, kami berpendapat bahawa makanan tersebut selagi mana diyakini status halalnya, maka makanan tersebut kekal status halal melainkan didatangani bukti yang jelas untuk mengharamkannya.
