What needs attention

  • DoubtfulE627 · Disodium guanylate

    Usually made from yeast or fermentation, but guanylates have also been made from fish or meat, and the pack does not say which. Same doubt as the inosinates (E630 to E635). Doubtful unless the product is vegan, vegetarian or halal-certified.

  • DoubtfulE631 · Disodium inosinate

    Can be made from meat (including pork) or fish. Halal if the product is vegan/vegetarian-labelled or 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.

  • DoubtfulEmulsifier (source not stated)

    The word "emulsifier" does not say which one is used. Several emulsifiers, including E471, are made from glycerol and fatty acids that can come from plants or animal fat, and the pack rarely says which. Doubtful unless the pack names a plant source, or shows a vegetarian, vegan or halal label.

  • DoubtfulE471 · Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids

    One of the most common doubtful additives. Halal if the pack says plant/vegetable origin or is halal-certified or vegan.
