E441

The EU additive code for gelatin — same sourcing rules apply as plain 'gelatin'.

Why?

E441 is simply the EU food additive number assigned to gelatin. Its halal status follows the same logic as gelatin generally: halal if from a halal-slaughtered animal or fish, haram if from pork, and doubtful if the source is not disclosed.

Good to know

See the main gelatin entry for full detail.
