Not kosher
Description: Pectins (i) pectin (ii) amidated pectin (emulsifier)
Function: emulsifier
Rationale:
OU/Star-K note pectin requires reliable kosher certification because the alcohol used in extraction/precipitation can be grape-derived (non-kosher wine concern) or grain-derived; the fruit substrate itself is not the issue, so 'except_passover' undersells the year-round wine/alcohol 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.
