Is Sucroglycerides vegan?
Sucroglycerides
Sucroglycerides are emulsifiers produced by reacting sucrose with an edible fat or oil (with or without solvent), yielding a mixture of sucrose esters and mono- and diglycerides. The fat or oil component may be of animal or vegetable origin, making the overall origin dual.
Why unconfirmed?
Sucroglycerides can be either derived from animal, or non-animal sources. The ingredient name itself is identical either way, so the label alone can’t tell you which. Only a supplier declaration can.
