Is E459 Kosher?

Kosher, except for Pesach


Description: Beta-cyclodextrine (emulsifier)

Function: emulsifier

Rationale: Beta-cyclodextrin is manufactured enzymatically from starch, most commonly corn starch in the US market, giving it a kitniyot concern per standard Ashkenazi Passover custom even though the substrate is highly modified.

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.
