I live in Canada. My question: is it obligatory upon me to call the manufactures of the products I use to inquire whether Haram ingredients were used in their production? Products such as creams, toothpaste, mouthwash, lotions etc… not food. Or can I assume that they are pure and move on with my life? Please help me.
