E325 Sodium lactate — is it halal?

Description

Sodium lactate — a salt of lactic acid. The acid comes from carbohydrate fermentation or synthesis (c1–c18, see E270); possible links of the shared routes — milk, meat and fish media, a cattle gene, alcohols, waste, glycerol, shells (c2, c5–c8, c11, c13–c18). The salt — by neutralising with alkali (c19); the «ester-salt» method leaves methanol or ethanol (c20); a by-product of nisin fermentation (c21)
