E470 and the Pescatarian Diet

E470, or fatty acid salts, is a group of compounds used in the food industry primarily as emulsifiers and stabilizers. These compounds are commonly derived from fatty acids, which can originate from plant oils or animal fats. As a result, the source of E470 can vary, and in some cases, it may not be explicitly stated on product labels. It is frequently used to improve the texture and shelf-life of processed foods.
