Answering whether emulsifiers are Halal can be tricky.
Generally, emulsifiers are a general class of chemicals/additives that are used by food and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Just to name a few, emulsifiers may be used as an anti-coagulant, anti-foaming, anti-caking, preservatives, bulking and etc....Therefore for most industrial production, the need for emulsifiers are extremely critical.
They may either be written in code numbers Eg: E471, E200, E572 etc... Or the other form is the actual chemical name itself Eg: Soya Lecithin, Sorbic Acid, Sodium Acetate, etc....
The production method for each emulsifier differs. Some emulsifiers are derived from animals or plants while others are fully synthetic. In some situations, an emulsifier with the same chemical name may be produced with different methods of production and source material in rival production houses. This is usually based on efficiency issues and the availability of source materials.
Therefore, it is best to go for food that have been certified HALAL as best as you can, as these food (even the emulsifiers that have been used in production) have been checked and verified by an authorised and trusted personnel.
We can also check with the organization that produces the food items. Big organizations usually have a dedicated team to answer all your queries. It is our consumer right to know what we have bought and consume.
Hope this helps.

Is strawberry millions the sweets halal?
IF IT SAYS VEGETARIAN OR THE "V" SIGN IT IS HALAL. I am a muslim from the u.k and on the millions sweet packet( strawberry flavour) it says emulsifiers (e473). on the front of the pack it has a "v" sign and says vegetarian society approved. Therefore this is HALAL, i would like to clear this with all the people who are wondering are these sweets halal? if it clearly says vegetarian society approved, then there you go:). Although if any type of sweet doesn't state this, then stay away, as you are eating something unlawful in Islam. Jazakullah khair ( i actually thought it was haram until i read it on the front, so just look for the sign). stay halal:)
