E441: Gelatine (superseded code)
Gelling agent. Origin: Animal-derived.
Vegan
Not vegan
Halal
Mushbooh (doubtful)
The honest version
An older E-number for gelatin, still seen on some labels. Same verdict as E428: never vegan, halal only if the source is certified.
When our checker meets E441 on a label, it does not guess: products carrying ambiguous additives get a “check the label” verdict, with the ingredient named, so you can decide or ask the manufacturer.
