The Vegan Thread

A quick google throws up:

E471 is mainly produced from vegetable oils (such as soybean), although animal fats are sometimes used and cannot be completely excluded as being present in the product. The fatty acids from each source are chemically identical.

Which I would guess is pretty individual as to whether you are ok with that. It's not something I had known about before tbh.

Personally I'd avoid it but that is because I am a strong believer that bread should be bread and anything over and above flour, salt, water and yeast is unnecessary.... Bread thread >>>>
