E620 Glutamic acid — is it halal?

Description

Glutamic acid — a flavour enhancer of the E620–E625 family: sugars are fermented by coryneform bacteria (c1, c2) on plant feedstock (c3, c4), then E620 is recovered from the second stream after dissolution in alkali (c23). Possible links lie in processing aids: a pig enzyme in soy peptone (the MUI case of 2000–2001, c6), peptone, meat extract, casein, fish in media (c7–c10, c25, c26)
