Is E418 Kosher?

Kosher, except for Pesach


Description: Gellan gum (thickener) (stabitrser) (emulsifier)

Function: emulsifier

Rationale: Gellan gum is a bacterial fermentation product (generally parve/kosher year-round) but its growth medium is commonly corn/wheat-derived glucose, giving it the same substrate-dependent Passover concern as xanthan gum rather than a blanket not_kosher status.

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.
