Why this verdict

E1518 is glyceryl triacetate (triacetin), a triacetic ester of glycerol used as a solvent and humectant in food flavours, gum bases, and pharmaceutical excipients. SANHA classifies E1518 as Mushbooh, noting the glycerol component must be verified since it can be plant-derived, animal-derived, or synthetic. MUIS marks E1518 as syubhah, noting it is produced by the acetylation of glycerol. Because the source is not disclosed on the label, E1518 is doubtful by default.
