Detailed information

What it is & how it is made: A natural preservative produced by bacteria (nisin, a bacteriocin); it is obtained by fermentation of the bacterium Lactococcus lactis.
Where it is used: Used as a preservative against bacteria in cheese, processed cheese, milk desserts and canned goods.
Health note: It is considered safe at ordinary levels.
Halal assessment: It is produced by fermentation; however, because the growth medium is frequently MILK-based and the production environment is not always transparent, it has been left as doubtful. Its form grown on a plant-based medium, or a certified form, can be accepted as halal.
