Function: Food Additive
E1104 is the European food-additive number for lipase. A LIPASE is any enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of fats -lipids-.
Is E1104 safe or restricted?
E1104 is an approved food additive in the EU and currently carries no special regulatory restrictions in the EU additive register. Forkin classifies it as “No regulatory flags” and does not make health claims. See the methodology for how regulatory levels are assigned, or the guide to how EU additives are approved, re-evaluated and banned.
Is E1104 vegan or vegetarian?
lipase (E1104) can be produced from plant, mineral, or animal-derived raw materials, and the ingredient list rarely states which source was used — so its vegan status genuinely depends on the specific product.
The production source can vary between manufacturers — the Forkin app shows the verified vegan and vegetarian status per product. Always read the label for allergens.
