Is Sucroglyceride Alpha-Gal Friendly?

Caution

Sometimes. Sugarglycerides (also called e474) can come from either animal or plant sources. If the label does not provide a source, we recommend calling the manufacturer.

Sucroglyceride and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Sucroglycerides, also known by the food additive code E474, are emulsifiers created by the esterification of sucrose with edible fats and oils, forming a mixture of mono- and diglycerides. They are used to improve texture and stability in various processed foods. Due to their dual hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, they help blend ingredients that usually don't mix well, such as oil and water.
