Pectin (E440A)

Halal status: Source dependent

Pectin is a thickener and stabiliser. MUIS lists apple residues and orange pith as commercial sources of it. SANHA lists it as halal but asks that the source be checked, because the apple residues can come from cider making, so its source decides it. A halal mark on the pack settles it.
