Doubtful
Computed from named public guides — NOT independently scholar-ratified. For doubtful items, consult a scholar you trust. Halalyzer never invents a ruling and never uses AI for the verdict.

Common acronym for E472e (diacetyltartaric acid esters of mono-/diglycerides). Fatty-acid feedstock may be plant or animal origin, so an unqualified 'DATEM' on a dough-conditioner label is Doubtful pending source verification. NOT scholar-ratified; cross-check vs SANHA additive guide.
