Carrageenan (E407): Seaweed-Derived, Vegan

Carrageenan is seaweed-derived — a plant-side ingredient compatible with vegan and vegetarian claims, and one of the standard replacements for gelatin. The certification questions around it concern function and formulation rather than species: stabilizer blends can pair it with dairy-derived or animal-derived components, so the blend's full composition is what gets reviewed.
