Vani Hari on mono- and diglycerides: warns against

Hari names mono- and diglycerides among the label ingredients she avoids, in her 2026 Epoch Times interview’s rundown of ingredients that trigger her put-it-back rule.

Her stated reasoning is the same framework she applies to all emulsifiers and processing aids on her avoid list: they are industrial food-processing ingredients, not real food, and products don’t need them to be food. When she spots them on an ingredient list, she says, the product goes back on the shelf.
