E623 Calcium glutamate — is it halal?

Description

Calcium diglutamate — a flavour enhancer of the E620–E625 family: sugars are fermented by coryneform bacteria (c1, c2) on plant feedstock (c3, c4), then neutralisation with calcium carbonate and hydroxide, extra purification on an ion-exchange resin (c23, c19).
