Is E101 Kosher?

Kosher, except for Pesach


Description: Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), formerly called lactoflavin (Vitamin G) (food colouring)

Function: food colouring

Rationale: OU/Star-K note riboflavin is a fermentation product whose growth medium may include chametz-derived nutrients, hence a Passover concern even though kosher year-round.

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.
