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.

E476 (PGPR), spelled out. Ester of polyglycerol with polycondensed castor-oil fatty acids (ricinoleic acid). The ricinoleic acid is plant (castor) but the glycerol backbone may be plant or animal origin, so an unqualified name is conservatively Doubtful pending source verification of the glycerol. Matches the shipped E476 MUSHBOOH baseline. NOT scholar-ratified; cross-check vs SANHA additive guide.
