What is Humectant: Glycerol?
I have just brought a box of fitnesse cereal bars and it doesn't say if they are vegetarian or not. I have looked through the ingredients and the only thing I can see that might not be vegetarian is Humectant: Glcerol. Does Anybody know what it is and if it is suitable for vegetarians and are the fitnesse cereal bars suitable for vegetarians? thankyou xxx
Answers:
Glycerine can be sourced from animal fat, or plant oils. I'm not sure if it can be produced synthetically.
Check the company website, and if they do not classify it as vegan contact them via email and ask them yourself.
Humecant keeps it moist so it doesn't dry up and become stale. I think you'll be fine... I don't think it comes from an animal.
