Allulose (psicose) — is it halal?

Description

D-allulose (D-psicose) is a rare sugar, an epimer of fructose, about 70 % as sweet as sucrose; it occurs naturally in small amounts. Industrially it is made from fructose (usually from maize starch) with a microbial epimerase — mostly from GM bacteria, in cells on alginate or on a resin; it is purified with carbon, ion exchangers, chromatography and crystallised from water or ethanol.
