Is Sucroglycerides (E474) Halal?

MUIS lists E474 (Sucroglycerides) as doubtful (mashbooh), which means the source cannot be confirmed from the E-number alone — not that it is haram. It can be made from plant-based or animal-derived materials, so the same E-number may be halal from one manufacturer and not from another. The reliable check is a recognised halal certification logo on the finished product, or a manufacturer statement of the source.

Sucroglycerides are emulsifiers prepared by reacting sucrose with natural triglycerides. MUIS notes the source can include lard, tallow or palm oil, which is the basis for the doubtful classification.

• bakery products
• ice cream
• non-dairy creamers
• powdered drink mixes

• Look for a recognised halal certification logo (MUIS, JAKIM, MUI, HMC or similar) on the packaging — certified products have had the source of this additive verified.
• Check whether the label states the origin, for example 'vegetable origin', 'plant-based' or 'soy'.
• If there is no certification and the origin is not stated, contact the manufacturer or choose a product with a halal alternative.
