Popular questions
Are mono and diglycerides bad for you?
They are widely used emulsifiers and are considered safe at typical food levels (e.g., GRAS in the U.S.; JECFA ADI “not specified”). Their main nutritional impact is a small addition of fat/calories.
Is mono and diglycerides pork?
Not by definition—they’re fat-derived emulsifiers that can come from plant oils or animal fats, including pork. Check the manufacturer or look for vegetarian/halal/kosher claims to know the source.
Are mono and diglycerides halal?
They can be halal if made from plant oils or from halal-slaughtered animal fat; if sourced from non‑halal animal fats (e.g., pork), they are not halal. Choose halal‑certified products to be sure.
Are mono and diglycerides vegan?
Not always—E471 may be made from plant oils or animal fats. Look for labels stating “vegetable mono- and diglycerides” or vegan certification.
What is mono and diglycerides made from?
They’re produced by reacting glycerol with edible fats/oils (plant or animal) to form partial glycerides. Common fatty acids include stearic, palmitic, and oleic acid.

Mostly in bakery products—especially bread and rolls—where it’s used as a dough emulsifier/strengthener; it may also appear in some cakes or pastries. It’s not very common today, so check labels for E483, stearyl tartrate, or stearyl palmityl tartrate.
In what foods can i find e483 stearyl tartrate?
Primarily in bakery items such as bread and rolls as a dough emulsifier, with occasional use in cakes or pastries. It’s relatively uncommon, so look for E483 or stearyl (palmityl) tartrate on ingredient lists.
