Black Opal raspberry licorice suitable for vegetarians?

Hi, does anyone know if the Black Opal raspberry licorice/liquorice is suitable for vegetarians? It doesn’t say on the packet.

Thanks for your answer and the link. The thing is E471 can be of animal origin as well as plant origin and I don’t know what it is in this particular liquorice.

It is fine for vegetarians.
