Depends on the source

Halal

Mushbooh (doubtful)

The honest version

An ester of mono- and diglycerides, so it inherits the same question as E471: plant or animal fat, the label does not say.

When our checker meets E472e 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.
