Official statement on Emulsifier 471 (Starbucks Coffee Singapore)

Official statement on Emulsifier 471

"E471 is the EU E number designating mono and diglycerides derived from fatty acids. These fatty acids can be from animal or vegetable sources. Most mono and diglycerides used as ingredients in the US are from vegetable sources. We have received confirmation from all suppliers that the mono and diglycerides used in Starbucks products are vegetable-derived. Therefore, all of the mono and diglycerides used as ingredients in Starbucks products are derived from vegetable sources and are appropriate for use by Muslims."
