Phenylalanine is unsuitable for vegetarians- which animal does it come from?!
Do some research on sources of this amino acid. Even Dr. Pepper has it!
Answers: Phenylalanine is an amino acid (which make up proteins). You can get it from plant sources. It's not unsuitable for vegetarians, it's sort of necessary for life.

I'm not sure I'd go as far as to say that it's unsuitable for vegetarians as it can have a role in L-dopa formation.(see L-dopa and catecholamines) While increased consumption it has been speculated to be linked to seratonin reduction, as with everthing else, it is good in moderation. It is also an essential amino acid. Unless you have PKU, I wouldn't worry about it.
