E339 Sodium phosphates — is it halal?

Description

Mono-, di- and trisodium phosphate. Per EFSA and China — neutralisation of phosphoric acid (E338) with sodium hydroxide or carbonate; per EFSA the trisodium salt needs the hydroxide (soda ash only reaches the disodium salt), while China names «碳酸钠（或氢氧化钠）» for TSP. Since 2021 China allows purified wet acid besides thermal. The norms name no animal feedstock; links of the acid are carried over from E338 (c15–c33)
