  • E481 (Sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate) (doubtful): Depends on the source of the stearic acid. Common in bread. To confirm for this product, ask the maker for the source of the e481 (sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate).
  • E920 (L-cysteine) (doubtful): Halal if made by fermentation or from halal poultry feathers; the source is rarely stated. Found in some bread and bakery products. To confirm for this product, ask the maker for the source of the e920 (l-cysteine).
