Is PEG-20 Tallate vegan?

PEG-20 Tallate is the ethoxylated ester of tall oil fatty acids and polyethylene glycol (average 20 moles ethylene oxide). Tall oil is generally a byproduct of wood pulp processing, but the term can occasionally also refer to tallow-derived fatty acids, so origin should be confirmed with the supplier.

An ingredient is considered vegan if it contains no animal-derived components at any point in its production.
