I buy foods labelled vegetarian, but in the West haram processing aids (e.g. bone char for sugar, gelatine for clarifying juice) dont have to appear on ingredient list, thus the product can still be labelled vegetarian. Must I ask companies if such aids were used or would that be digging too deep?

If this is the norm then knowing is better or you stay away.
