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.

E477, spelled out. Propylene glycol esterified with fatty acids; the fatty-acid feedstock may be plant or animal origin, so an unqualified name is Doubtful pending source verification. Matches the shipped E477 MUSHBOOH baseline. NOT scholar-ratified; cross-check vs JAKIM MS 1500:2019 (general animal-source fatty-acid provisions).
