What it is

Ethoxylated mono- and diglycerides are a type of emulsifier made from fats and oils. They are produced by reacting mono- and diglycerides with ethylene oxide, a process that adds polyethylene glycol chains.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use these compounds to help mix ingredients that normally don't blend well, like oil and water. They improve texture and shelf life in baked goods, frozen foods, and dairy products.

Health notes

In the US, ethoxylated mono- and diglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as emulsifiers. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar emulsifiers, but specific evaluations for this exact compound may vary. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. While derived from fats and oils, the processing typically removes allergenic proteins.
