I recently called a manufacturer that sells kosher for passover chocolates. I discovered that even though these products were marked kosher for passover with registered trademarks, many of the products had citric acid derived from corn in them. Corn is forbidden during passover. The woman at mail order businees was surprised to learn this from me that citric acid comes from corn. She called the manufacurer. They found out that their products did contain a citric acid which was derived from corn. The same thing could happen with sodium stearoyl lactylate. They might not know that it can be derived from milk, and they might not check it out. It is probably best to call the manufacturer and tell them that you must know the source of the sodium stearoyl lactylate. This way you will know if it is milk-derived or not.
