CautionSometimes. Stearamide can come from either animal or plant sources. When animal-derived, it is a fat from cows, pigs, and sheep.
Stearamide and the Vegetarian Diet
Stearamide is a fatty amide derived from stearic acid, which can be sourced from both animal fats and plant oils. It is commonly used in the manufacturing of plastics, rubbers, and as an anti-caking or anti-static agent in food packaging. While it is not typically a direct food ingredient, its presence in packaging materials can sometimes lead to incidental contact with food items.
