Is gelling agent E440 based on an animal product?
Q Could you please give me some information about Gelling Agent E440 which is found in Arnott’s Assorted Creams. I want to know whether it is based on an animal product or not. Thank you very much for your assistance. A Gelling agent 440 is pectin: ‘any of various water-soluble colloidal carbohydrates that occur in ripe fruit and vegetables, used in making fruit jellies and jams.’ It is suitable for vegetarians. For a list of Arnott’s products that are suitable for vegetarians (or vegans), refer to the Arnott’s link on our Other Suitable Foods page.
