Betty Crocker cake mix

Hey!
Does anyone know if the Betty Crocker carrot cake mix is vegan please?
Has anyone heard whether the propane 1, 2-dial esters of fatty acids are animal derived or not? Xxx

The ingredients here look vegan, but carrot cake is so easy and much healthier if you make it from scratch : http://hellyeahitsvegan.com/classic-vegan-carrot-cake/

This website is really cool for looking up e numbers, it says they are usually plant derived but can be animal derived.

If the packet says suitable for vegetarians, in theory that would tell you they were plant derived (since it's animal fat, not milk/etc) . (I mean, if the packet says beef, it might be horse... so you never really know, but I think if it is vegetarian it excludes the possibility as far as it is practical to know. You could email Betty Crocker if you wanted to be a bit surer?).
