Does the Kosher symbol mean that it has vegitable derrived glycerin?!


Question: Does the Kosher symbol mean that it has vegitable derrived glycerin?
Has kosher symbol but the ingredient has glycerin which might be from plants or animals. So does that mean it's 100% from plant since Jews don't eat animals which aren't kosher? If there is chance on animal being in it, why they put the sign?

btw i'm not jewish.

it does not mean it is not from animals- it means it is from a Kosher source! the majority of items marked as kosher with glycerine utilise vegetable based glycerine. One wat to check if it is a meat source is to see if it is marked with "Milk" or "Milchik" "???" or "Parev" "???"- in any of these cases the glycerine will most likely be from a vegetable source. if it is marked as "Meat" or "Baser" "???" then it has meat somewhere in the ingredients- though not necessarily the glycerine.

Kosher does not mean no animal products

It just means that it follows Kosher rules (too extensive to list here)

An example would be that no dairy and meat are ever combined. No pork products are used. No shell fish.
