Is E-631, found in pizzas and chips, derived from pig?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
My question is that there is a chemical component which mixes with pizzas and chips also. Component is E-631. While I search this on Google it shows that this is originated from pig which is not acceptable. So I am very confused about the information provided on Google and other social sites. Please provide me an answer.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Merely on the news of Google and other websites the definite ruling of unlawfulness cannot be applied. However it is better to avoid in case of doubt out of piety.

Allah knows Best!
