Why this verdict

E1104 is lipase, an enzyme that breaks down fats, used in cheese production, baking, and flavour development. It can be derived from microbial fermentation, plant sources, or animal sources (including pig pancreas and calf stomach). No major halal authority in the source corpus has published a per-additive position on E1104. Without source disclosure the additive defaults to doubtful unless the product carries halal certification confirming a microbial or plant-derived source.
