CautionSometimes. Glyceride (e422) can come from both animal and plant sources. If the label does not provide a source, we recommend calling the manufacturer.
Glyceride and the Vegetarian Diet
Glycerol is a clear, odorless, and viscous liquid that is widely used in the food industry due to its sweet taste and hygroscopic properties. It is classified as a sugar alcohol and is often used to retain moisture in foods, as well as to sweeten low-calorie products. Glycerol can be derived from both animal fats and plant oils, making it important for vegetarians to verify the source if it's not explicitly stated on the label.
