Is E432 Kosher?

Not kosher


Description: Polyoxyethene (20) sorbitan monolaurate (polysorbate 20) (emulsifier)

Function: emulsifier

Rationale: Polysorbate 20 combines a sorbitan backbone (often corn-derived) with a laurate fatty-acid ester that may be animal-derived, so it requires certification on both counts.

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.
