Are E631 and E627 halal?

⚠️ Depends on the source

Flavour enhancers E631 and E627 can come from fish or yeast (halal), but sometimes from meat β€” including pork.

E631 (disodium inosinate) and E627 (disodium guanylate) are flavour enhancers that usually accompany MSG in crisps, instant noodles and savoury snacks.

Their source varies: fish (sardines) or yeast extracts β€” halal β€” but they can also be produced from meat, including pork in some Asian supply chains. The label never tells you which.

In practice: on a certified halal product, no issue. Without certification, this is the classic case where checking with the brand β€” or choosing plain flavours β€” is simplest. Non-certified instant noodles are the most frequently concerned products.
