Is PEG-8 Ditallate vegetarian?

PEG-8 Ditallate is the diester of tall oil fatty acids and polyethylene glycol (average 8 moles ethylene oxide). Tall oil is a byproduct of wood pulp processing, but tallow-derived fatty acids can also be marketed under the term "tall oil," so origin should be confirmed by supplier.

An ingredient is considered vegetarian if it avoids components derived from killing an animal.
