E472b MUSHBOOH

Known industrially as LACTEM, E472b is synthesized by reacting lactic acid with mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E471).

Because regulatory bodies do not mandate the disclosure of the initial fat origin on packaging, this additive is universally classified as Mushbooh (doubtful) within Islamic jurisprudence.
