What needs attention

  • DoubtfulE635 · Disodium 5'-ribonucleotides

    A mix of disodium guanylate (E627) and disodium inosinate (E631). Inosinates can be made from meat (including pork) or fish, and the label rarely says which, so it is doubtful unless the product is vegan or halal certified.

  • DoubtfulFlavourings

    The word "flavouring" does not say what a flavour is made from or dissolved in. Most are plant-based or synthetic, but some are carried in alcohol or glycerol of unstated source, and a few contain animal ingredients. Doubtful unless the pack says plant-based or alcohol-free, or shows a halal logo.
