E470 and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet
E470 refers to salts of fatty acids, typically used in food products as emulsifiers and stabilizers. These salts are usually derived from plant sources such as vegetable oils, but they can also be sourced from animal fats. The ingredient is often labeled simply as E470, and it encompasses a group of compounds including calcium, magnesium, and sodium salts of fatty acids. Despite its widespread use in food manufacturing, the specific source of the fatty acids is not always disclosed on product labels, which can be a concern for individuals with specific dietary restrictions.
