Anyone know if Tillamook's yogurt is suitable for vegetarians?!

Question:

Anyone know if Tillamook's yogurt is suitable for vegetarians?

I ask, because as I'm enjoying my yogurt (I'm lacto-ovo), I realized it uses "kosher gelatin". I looked at the other questions on kosher gelatin, and there wasn't much agreement as to what the term meant. Apparently, sometimes it means it's not made from animals, and other times it doesn't. ??? Does anyone know what Tillamook derives their kosher gelatin from? Do I need to get a new favorite brand of yogurt??

UPDATE:
I emailed Tillamook and their kosher gelatin is "derived from cattle". BUMMER! At least now we all know.

Kosher Gelatin is non-pork gelatin and usually is gelatin that has been taken from cows killed in the Kosher tradition. Kosher does not equal vegetarian.

To be sure about Tillamook's gelatin, e-mail them.

And for non-gelatin yogurt, I buy Continental, Nancy's, Trader Joe's (select types), Horizon and a few others. Most name brand yogurts have gelatin in them: Yoplait, Dannon, etc. I buy instead from Trader Joe's or the 'natural foods' section and just make sure to read each and every ingredient. : )
