Is E296 Kosher?

Kosher all year around


Description: Matrc acid (acid) (acidity regulator)

Function: acidity regulator

Rationale: Commercial DL-malic acid is predominantly produced petrochemically (hydration of maleic anhydride from benzene/butane), not by corn fermentation, so no inherent kitniyot concern.

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.
