E570: Stearic acid

Anti-caking agent. Origin: Plant or animal (varies by manufacturer).

Vegan

Depends on the source

Halal

Mushbooh (doubtful)

The honest version

A fatty acid that can be pressed from plant oils or rendered from animal fat, and the label does not say which. The same source question as E471.

When our checker meets E570 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.
