E631 - Disodium 5’-inosinate: May trigger gout symptoms, varied reactions reported. Prohibited in foods for infants and young children. Not recommended for asthmatics.
E631 - Disodium 5’-inosinate: In Europe if it is obtained from non alcoholic fermantation by bacteria on sugar or from sugarcane itself then it is Halal but if it is obtained from Torula yeast grown on alcohol then disodium Inosinate is not Halal. It is Halal in USA and Canada. Disodium Inosinate is used in Europe as flavor enhancer used in soups, gravies, sauces, fish and seafoods. Although it is a nucleotide but it is obtained through bacterial non- alcoholic fermantation on sugar or from sugarcane itself. It should not be confused with nucleotide from Torula yeast which grown alcohol or sugar cane which is used in infant baby formula.
E631 - Disodium 5’-inosinate: Additives that are manufactured in closed systems with the aid of genetically modified micro-organisms are not subject to labelling, provided that the additive in question has been purified and contains no micro-organisms.

As inosinates are metabolised to purines, they should be avoided by people suffering from gout.
E631 - Disodium 5’-inosinate: As the starting point for inosinates, inosinic acid may be manufactured with the aid of genetically modified organisms. However, in individual cases it cannot be verified if, and to what degree, this process is exploited commercially.
