Which E-numbers and additives are from animal origin ?
In this document we list which E-numbers may be derived from animal origin. In many cases the origin of the product may be either from animal or non-animal sources. This is especially the case for those additives that contain fatty acids. These are normally of plant origin, but animal origin cannot be excluded. As the products are chemically identical, only the produces can give information on the exact origin.
Each religious (Muslim, Jew, Hindu or other) or other group (vegetarians, vegans) can use the list below to determine whether or not to accept the additive.
E-number | Name | Origin |
Carmine, Cochineal | Colour isolated from the insects Coccus cacti | |
Lecithine | Soy beans and for some purposes from chicken eggs. | |
Polyoxyethylene(8) stearate | Stearic acid is a fatty acid. See note below this table. | |

Fatty acids
Fats, whether from plant or animal origin, consist of glycerol and generally 3 fatty acids. Fats can enzymatically be split in fatty acids and glycerol. The fatty acids can be purified and reconnected to glycerol as mono- di- of triglycerides (glycerol with 1, 2 or 3 fatty acids respectively). Many additives consist of these semi-natural fats, which act as emulsifiers.
These semi-natural fats are degraded and metabolise din the body, just like normal fat.
Chemically the fatty acids from animal or plant origin are identical. Therefore the origin is of no importance for the function in the food. Producers thus normally choose the cheapest oils to make these fats. This is generally some vegetable oil. However, animal fats can not be excluded.
Unfortunately it is not possible to distinguish animal and vegetable fatty acids in the final product. Only the producer can provide information on the origin. As there is a risk for animal fats, Jews, Muslims, Hindus and vegans should avoid these products, unless the origin is mentioned by the producer.
Other common ingredients of animal origin :
Casein and caseinate | A protein from cow's milk |
Gelatin | From animal bones. Since the BSE crisis mainly from pork, but other animal bones are used. Halal and kosher gelatin is available in specialised shops. |
Lactose | Sugar from cow's milk |
Omega-3-fatty acids | From fish, seals and soy. |
Whey and wheypowder | A fraction of milk, see also here. |
Overview of additives and ingredients that are often mentioned as being from animal origin:
Riboflavin (lactoflavin) | Yellow food colour. It can be isolated from milk, but commercially produced from micro-organisms. Isolation from milk is too expensive. | |
Carbon | Prepared from charcoal from burned wood. Can be obtained from burned animals, but this is no longer done. | |
Canthaxanthin | Colour prepared from mushrooms or synthetically from carotene. Historically it was also prepared from shrimp waste or flaming feathers. Synthetic cantaxanthin is cheaper and has higher purity. | |
Lactic acid and lactates | Made by bacterial fermentation on sugar waste (molasses). It is not present in milk. All fermented products (dairy and non-dairy) contain lactic acid as the result of bacterial fermentation. Commercially only prepared from sugar. | |
Tocopherols (vitamin E) | From vegetable oils. Also in animal (fish) oils but these oils are too expensive. Fish oils are, however, used as a source in food supplements, but not in foods, due to the strong flavour. | |
E325-7 | Lactates | See E270 above. |
Nicotinic acid (vitamin B3) | From yeast. Production from liver is too expensive. | |
Glycerol | Part of animal and vegetable fat. Commercially made synthetically from petroleum. | |
Polyglycerolpolyricinoleate | Synthetic vegetable fat. | |
E620-5 | Glutamates. | Commercially only made from sugar by bacterial fermentation or from seaweed. Theoretically from any protein, but that is too expensive. |
E927b | Ureum | Synthetic. Can be isolated from urine, but too complicated and expensive. |
- | Vitamin B12 | Commercially only made by bacterial fermentation. Isolation from meat is too expensive, due to the very low concentrations. |
KODE BABI PADA MAKANAN BERKEMAS
Assalamu'alaikum
Oleh Dr.M. Anjad Khan
Salah seorang rekan saya bernama Shaikh Sahib, bekerja sebagai
pegawai di
Badan Pengawasan Obat & Makanan (POM) di Pegal, Perancis. Tugasnya,
mencatat semua merk barang, makanan & obat-obatan
Produk apapun yang akan disajikan suatu perusahaan ke pasaran,
bahan-bahan produk tesebut harus terlebih dulu mendapat ijin dari BPOM
Prancis dan Shaikh Sahib bekerja di bagian QC. Tak heran jika ia
mengetahui
berbagai macam bahan makanan yang dipasarkan. Banyak dari bahan-bahan
tersebut
dituliskan dengan istilah ilmiah, namun ada juga beberapa yang
dituliskan dalam
bentuk matematis seperti E-904, E-141.
Awalnya, saat Shaikh Sahib menemukan bentuk matematis, dia penasaran
lalu menanyakan kode matematis tersebut kepada orang Prancis yang
berwenang
dalam bidang itu. Orang Prancis menjawab, Kerjakan saja tugasmu, dan
jangan banyak tanya ...!
Jawaban itu, semakin menimbulkan kecurigaan Sahib, lalu ia pun mulai
mencari tahu kode matematis dalam dokumen yang ada. Ternyata, apa yang
dia temukan cukup mengagetkan kaum muslimin dunia. Hampir di seluruh
negara bagian barat, termasuk Eropa pilihan utama untuk daging adalah
daging
babi.
Peternakan babi sangat banyak terdapat di negara- negara tersebut. Di
Perancis sendiri jumlah peternakan babi mencapai lebih dari 42.000
unit.
Jumlah kandungan lemak dalam tubuh babi sangat tinggi dibandingkan
dengan hwan lainnya. Namun, orang Eropa & Amerika berusaha menghindari
lemak-lemak itu. Yang menjadi pertanyaan dikemanakan lemak-lemak babi
tersebut ? Babi-babi dipotong di rumah jagal yang diawasi BPOM, tapi
yang bikin
pusing POM adalah membuang lemak yang sudah dipisahkan dari daging
babi.
Dahulu sekitar 60 tahun lalu, lemak-lemak babi itu dibakar. Kini
mereka
pun berpikir untuk memanfaatkan lemak-lemak tersebut. Sebagai awal uji
cobanya, mereka membuat sabun dengan bahan lemak babi, dan ternyata
berhasil.
Lemak-lemak itu diproses secara kimiawi, dikemas rapi dan dipasarkan.
Negara di Eropa memberlakukan aturan yang mewajibkan bahan setiap
produk makanan, obat-obatan harus dicantumkan pada kemasan. Karena
itu, bahan
dari lemak babi dicantumkan dengan nama Pig Fat (lemak babi) pada
kemasan produknya. Agar mudah dipasarkan, penulisan lemak babi dalam
kemasan
diganti dengan lemak hewan. Ketika produsen ditanya pihak berwenang
dari negara Islam,
maka dijawab lemak tersebut adalah lemak sapi & domba. Meskipun begitu
lemak-lemak itu haram bagi muslim, karena penyembelihannya tidak
sesuai
syariat Islam.Label baru itu dilarang keras masuk negara Islam,
akibatnya
produsen menghadapi masalah keuangan sangat serius, karena 75%
penghasilan
mereka diperoleh dengan menjual produk ke negara Islam, mengingat
laba yang
dicapai bisa mencapai miliaran dollar.
Akhirnya, mereka membuat kodifikasi bahasa yang hanya dimengerti BPOM,
sementara orang lain tak ada yang tahu. Kode diawali dengan E ? CODES,
E-INGREDIENTS, ini terdapat dalam produk perusahaan mutinasional,
antara lain :
pasta gigi, pemen karet, cokelat, gula2, biskuit, makanan kaleng,
buah2an kaleng, dan beberapa multivitamin serta masih banyak lagi
jenis makanan
& obat2an lainnya.
Karena itu, saya mohon kepada sesama muslim dimana pun, untuk
memeriksa secara seksama bahan2 produk yang akan kita konsumsi dan
mencocokannya
dengan daftar kode E-CODES, berikut ini karena produk dengan kode-kode
di bawah ini, positif mengandung lemak babi :
E100, E110, E120, E-140, E141, E153, E210, E213, E214, E216, E234,
E252,E270, E280, E325, E326, E327, E337, E422, E430, E431, E432,
E433, E434, E435, E436, E440, E470, E471, E472, E473, E474, E475,
E476, E477, E478, E481, E482,E483, E491, E492, E493, E494, E495,
E542, E570, E572, E631, E635, E904.
Adalah tanggungjawab kita bersama untuk mengikuti syari'at Islam dan
juga memberitahukan informasi ini kepada sesama muslim lainnya.
Semoga manfaat,

Kalo mo hang out di Starbucks or Coffebean, pikir2 ulang deh
.... karena, ternyata semua minuman mengandung elmusifier yang berasal
dari babi. Kalo membeli makanan kita juga gampang mengetahui halal or
haram,
caranya dg melihat ada tidaknya kode E ? trus tiga digit angka
dibelakangnya,
dan itu artinya bahan2 berasal dari lemak babi...
************ ****
Dear all ...
Jika memang emulsifier yang dipake starbuck adalah kode E471 (tidak
ada
embel2 lain, misal : lecithin de sojaatau soy lecithin), maka saya
yakni bahwa "origin"nya adalah pork or varken (babi)
Sebenarnya tak hanya E471 tapi juga E472, para keluarga muslim
Groningen the Netherlands & ikatan kel muslim Eropa memperingatkan
kami utk
mengecek content / ingredient emulsifier ini pd setiap produk makanan
yg akan
dibeli. Kami pun sempat kaget, karena emulsifier juga digunakan pada
roti
tawar. Karena itu, kami sarankan kpd kel muslim utk pilih roti tawar
dg
istilah biological bread (non-chemical additive), tentu saja resikonya
harga
lebih mahal (1/2 blok roti tawar jenis ini hampir 3 X harga roti
tawar dg
emulsifier), yang pentingkan halal.
************ ********* *******
FYI ....
E471 biasa dikenal dg sebutan lecithin è originnya merupakan ekstrak
dari tulang babi.
E472 (saya tak ingat nama dagangnya) è originnya adalah ekstrak
tulang babi.
Kedua additive ini merupakan senyawa turunan dr asam lemak (fatty
acid). Biasanya kedua additive ini sangat sering ditemukan pada
produk2
berikut :
Produk makanan mengandung cokelat è roti, ice cream, biskuit, dll
Produk makanan yg perlu elmusifier è coklat bar, ice cream, or bulk,
coffee cream, marshmallo, jelly, dsb.
Demikian sekilas info, semoga manfaat
Wallahu'alam bi shawab
