Animal sources
Made from an animal or something an animal produced: whey and caseinate from milk, pepsin and trypsin and pancreatin from stomachs and pancreases, bone phosphate from bone, menhaden oil from fish, lysozyme from egg white.
This is a statement about what the substance can be made from, not about any particular product. Several additives in this group are also made by other routes — vitamin D3 is obtained from lanolin and, in one listing here, from lichen — and a manufacturer's choice is rarely declared on a label. Whether a food suits a particular diet is a question for its maker; the dietary flags on each page describe the substance, not the food.
33 additives, 2 of them synthesised from that material rather than extracted from it. A starting material describes a route, not a risk and not a dietary answer — see what this does and does not say, and the dietary indexes for the separate question of suitability.
