They&rsquo;re one of the most common emulsifiers in the supermarket, hiding in bread, ice cream, margarine, peanut butter and coffee creamer under the name E471.

The label rarely specifies. The Vegan Society flags E471 as potentially animal-derived, so a strict vegan should treat unspecified E471 as uncertain and look for &#8220;vegetable&#8221; wording or a vegan certification.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tiv-check\">Last checked: July 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:26px 0;\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/sliced-bread-e471.webp\"><img data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/are-mono-and-diglycerides-vegan\/\" data-pin-description=\"Slices of soft white sandwich bread | Are Mono and Diglycerides Vegan?

They&rsquo;re made by combining glycerol with fatty acids, and those fatty acids come from fat, which is the whole problem. That fat can be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Plant oils: soybean, canola, palm, sunflower, cottonseed<\/li>\n<li>Animal fats: rendered pork (lard) or beef tallow<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Chemically the finished E471 looks the same whichever fat you start from, so the label just says &ldquo;mono and diglycerides&rdquo; or &ldquo;E471&rdquo; and leaves you guessing. In practice a large share of modern E471 is plant or palm based, but &ldquo;a large share&rdquo; is not &ldquo;all,&rdquo; and there&rsquo;s no way to know from the pack alone.<\/p>\n<h2>The signals that help<\/h2>\n<p>You&rsquo;re not completely blind. A few label cues shift the odds:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&ldquo;Mono and diglycerides of vegetable origin&rdquo; or &ldquo;vegetable emulsifier&rdquo;: vegan.<\/li>\n<li>A vegan certification logo on the pack: the maker has confirmed it.<\/li>\n<li>Kosher Pareve marking: pareve means no meat or dairy, which usually (not always) points to a plant or synthetic source. A helpful hint, not a guarantee.<\/li>\n<li>No qualifier at all: uncertain. Contact the manufacturer if it matters to you, or choose a product that states its source.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to handle E471, tap to expand<\/h2>\n<details class=\"tiv-tl\">\n<summary>Label says just &#8220;E471&#8221; or &#8220;mono and diglycerides&#8221;<\/summary>\n<div class=\"tiv-tlb\">Source unstated.

Aus S\u00fcddeutschland, besser gesagt aus dem Schwarzwald, seit 2019 Gr\u00fcnder von This Is Vegan, mittlerweile in Bali zuhause.

Mein Ansatz war nie, Leuten ein schlechtes Gewissen zu machen. Sondern zu zeigen, wie einfach, lecker und entspannt vegan im Alltag funktioniert. Anziehung statt Ablehnung.
