Kosher all year around
Description: Sodium ethyl para-hydroxybenzoate (preservative)
Function: preservative
Rationale:
Sodium ethylparaben is simply the sodium salt of E214, synthetic with no kashrut concern; EU restrictions on this compound are for toxicology/regulatory reasons, not kashrut, so it should match its paraben siblings.
If you don't see a status above, it does not mean the additive is not kosher automatically - it might just not be documented in our database yet.
