Milk protein
Is Sodium caseinate halal?
Sodium caseinate is a milk-protein salt. It is not E469. The UK FSA list assigns E469 to enzymatically hydrolysed carboxymethyl cellulose. No grade A/B certifier page is cited here for caseinate as a class, so this stays insufficient-evidence. Rennet is the usual cheese question; acid caseinates are a different process, and the pack still does not prove the dairy source.
Split from the mis-filed E469 row. Not a ruling.
