Are food items with ingredients codes E473-E478, E631, E635, E640, E920 halaal or haraam?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Assalam alaikum! These days we are confronted with various food products available in the market, in India whose ingredients include codes like these:E473, E474, E475, E476, E477, E478, E631, E635, E640, E920 and many more which some people consider to be haraam.Can you please give some information whether these food items are halaal or haraam?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 790=559/H)

We have no confirmation about the code numbers being Haram.

You should write the ingredients of the product, then we can have a say.

Allah knows Best!
