What foods have gelatin in them?!
What foods have gelatin in them?
I just found out today that Kelloggs Pop Tart have gelatin in it and so i would like to know what other kind of food have gelatin in it.
Thanks!
Answers:
Kellogg's pop-tarts do but its ONLY in their frosting, if you get the kind without any frosting they are fine.
Other Products include Marshmallows and marshmallow products (marshmallows in cereals and hot chocolate for example)
Various candies, Especially Gummy candies but also starbursts, skittles, those valentines conversation hearts, neckos, and those hard candy dots that are stuck to paper in strips.
Jello is Gelatin
Some Yogurts, Dips, Sour Creams, and Egg Nogs (depending on the brand. ALL 'Dean's' Dips do for Example as well as 'United Dairy Farmers' Egg Nog'.)
Many frosted Cereals. Frosted Mini-wheat's do BUT they also make organic frosted mini-wheat's which do not!
Some Fruit Snacks, again it depends on the brand.
Some instant sauces, gravy's, and icings. And rarely certain Energy bars, snack cakes, and pudding like desserts.
Also any "gel capsules" for medicine of vitamins, like Advil Liquid gel tabs or Vitamin E capsules (unless they say specifically suitable for vegetarians then they are usually made out of an alternative.)
I'm assuming Jello does, but I know for sure that skittles contain gelatin, not sure what else does though.
Yogurt dannon brand marshmellows wheat cereial which is coated with sugar. only cheese which has rennet is allcheddars and romano in case you are a vegeterian

marshmallows is gelatin
Marshmallows
anything that has the word "gummy" in it... gummy worms etc.
many yogurts
many candies like starburst and skittles
Jello
some puddings
gel-cap medicines
P.S. Pop Tarts without the icing are edible for vegetarians. I like the cinnamon-sugar ones.
Oh yes, and here is a link to a couple of sites who have great gelatin substitutes in case you miss any of these foods.

:)
some vitamins, specially eye vitamins too, also any medication that have gel type, easy swallow tablets usally have gelatin.
Lots and lots of things. Label reading is very helpful.
Apart from the different types of food already mentioned you have to be aware of something else. Ifyou see the word "stabilisers" on a package, it probably contains gelatine.
The only way to be sure is to check on the package or jar, if the product is suitable for vegetarians.
Gelatine is also used sometimes in the process of making beer and wine to "filter" it .
The ones that list it on the label.
You got the pop tarts that have the sugar frosting stuff on them!! The ones without that junk normally don't have hooves in them!
You have to ALWAYS check the label on whatever you buy. I've even seen tofu that had hoove added to it! Food companies will stash that junk anywhere they can get away with it. You'd hate me if I listed all the products where I've seen it turn up.
Many yogurts and many margarines do. Stonybrook farms yogurt and earth balance spread do not have gelatin.
Many, many foods.
jams, puddings, savouries, drinks....the list is quite endless.
You need to check all processed foods to be sure.
If you buy food without knowing the source of all ingredients then you cannot really call yourself a veggie, it would just be guesswork
This link helped me so I am sure it well you! http://www.vegan.org
Many yogurts (but not all), most gummy candies, marshmallows (but not marshmallow creme), rocky road ice cream (cuz of the marshmallows), some cereals, many "no-bake" desserts, some vitamins and medicines (especially those in a "gel cap")... I've just gotten into the habit of scanning the ingredients on every new product I buy. You never know what they're gonna put gelatin in.
I was very disappointed to find out that my all-time favorite seasonal candy (Peeps) are no longer on my edible list. :'(
Try the PETA website.
They have a comprehensive list of safe foods for vegans.
Good luck!
Foods that are chewy or soft.
Any jello, some yogerts...
Jello,....
Read labels. Some sweet stuff, candy and yogurt has gelatin. I bought peatnuts in a jar once, and the ingredients included gelatin. Unless you bought the stuff before and you know what's in it, read labels.
Honey O's, Fruit Tarts, Kellogs Rice Krispies, Yogurt Flavoured Cereals, Fruit Loops, Lucky Charms, Softee Toasties, Wheaties, Marshmallow flavoured Spoon size Shreddies!, Eggo's, Frozen Pizza's, Koolaid, Jello.
I could go on with this but... I suggest just read the ingredients
when U are shopping if U want to avoid gelatin.
Although I'm a vegetarian.. I make an exception when it comes
to gelatin. Sometime I use plant gelatin but that's expensive!
###ICE CREAM AND SOUPS###
Skittles, starburst, and other candies
Some yogurt
Marshmallows
Gummy snacks
Jell-o (obviously)
There are many other things as well. You just have to read the labels.
Oh, and only Pop-Tarts with the frosting have gelatin. The unfrosted have no gelatin. But they are horrible for you anyways...
