Question 57

In the West, many food ingredients and additives used in pastries, ice cream, bread, sweets and many other products can be of animal origin. They are often identified by E-numbers. For example, E471 mono- and diglycerides are synthetic fats produced from glycerol and natural fatty acids, mainly of plant origin but sometimes from animal fats. E452 polyphosphates may also be produced in Europe from animal bones. There are dozens of other amino-acid ingredients of animal origin. Are such ingredients forbidden?

Ahmed al-Hasan Response:

Any substance that is the product of chemical processing presents no problem in terms of impurity. It is considered pure even if its original source before processing was impure, such as pig, carrion, wine, intoxicants and the like.
