Is Sodium Caseinate (E469) Halal?

MUIS lists E469 (Sodium Caseinate) as halal. Its animal source is one that is permissible, so the additive is accepted as halal. The status applies to the additive itself; the finished product still needs its other ingredients checked.

Sodium caseinate is a milk protein produced by treating casein from cow's milk with sodium hydroxide. It is used as an emulsifier, foaming agent and source of dairy protein.
