E422 Glycerol — is it halal?

Description

A trihydric alcohol, humectant and carrier. The key difference from related additives: Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/1329 replaced the E422 definition with effect from 20 July 2023 and restricted it **to vegetable oils and fats only** — either directly or via crude glycerol, a by-product of biodiesel production, with mandatory purification by distillation.
