I've heard someone talk about e-code or something and none of this makes sense to me.
If you know what it is, then it's best you speak to a scholar and find out about it, insha'Allah.

The E-system was derived by the European Union to assign numerical codes to food additives for administrative purposes. It's had the side-effect of making consumers totally unaware of what they eat.
E471 is some substance that can be obtained either from vegetable or animal sources, and most foods containing it normally don't say what the source was.
