It isn't really as clear cut as that:

So, some are haraam whereas some are doubtful. Mono- and diglycerides can be from plants, fish, or animals. If they're from the latter, they're haraam.

Yes, that's what I meant,

for precising. Still, if they are of animal origins, they're haram. The doubtfullness is related to not knowing (unless clearly specified) if the origin is animal or vegetal, but if it's animal. It's haram..

While...

E471s (Mono & di glycerides of fatty acids) are always Halal [for Hanafis]

because it undertakes istihalah (change of nature and quality) as is the case of vinegar, which is halal for hanafis regardless of the origin (alcohol).

I think the jami'at ul muftiyeen of SA or Mufti Husain (hafidhahullah) published something on this years ago, but can't find this now.

Wow that's the first time I read this; please post the link if you manage to find it..
