Is E442 Kosher?

Kosher all year around


Description: Ammonium phosphatides (emulsifier)

Function: emulsifier

Rationale: Ammonium phosphatides (Emulsifier YN) are manufactured from rapeseed/sunflower oil, phosphatides, ammonia and glycerine -- a purely vegetable-derived synthetic lecithin substitute (per Palsgaard, molkem, halalcodecheck sources), with no documented animal-source 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.
