Do vegetarians eat Jello?!
Answers: If not, why?!
well my freind that is vegetarian wont eat jello because it contains animal product..
so yeah thats all i know about itt
vegetarians maybe but vegans no. jello has animal products in it and vegans dont eat anything from animals
NO! Jello is made with gelatin, and it's derived from pork and beef, usually. It's GROSS!!!
Actually, nowadays gelatin is not made from animals.
I am a vegetarian, but I do not eat it.
Vegetarians may, vegans don't. Jello used to be made from gelatin made from boiling down animal bones. Although this is not the case anymore, it still has that stigma.
jello is made from gelatin.
gelatin is formed from collagen found in bones.
There are no plant sources of bones, therefore jello isn't vegetarian.
Does this mean Vegetarians don't eat it?
You'd be surprised how many vegetarians are oblvious to fact that jello is made from animal bones (or hoofs). You probably may also sometimes see "vegetarians" wearing leather. But technically vegetarians aren't supposed to eat jello. On a positive note you will never see a vegan eating jello, unless its composed of plant cellulose as oppose to gelatin.
I haven't found any sources disconfirming that jello is made of gelatin. There are fruit cups made of fruit pectin, not sold as jello which maybe what everyone is confused about, but powdered jello in the box is definitely made from collagen in the bones of animals.
I can't speak for all vegetarians, but I can tell you that Jello is not vegetarian.
It is made from Gelatin (or Gelatine) which is made from the connective tissues, bones, organs, and sometimes intestines of animals.
And before anyone says it, Kosher Gelatin is not necessarily vegetarian. It simply means that it is not pig based gelatin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosher_food...
No. vegetarians do not, nor do vegans.
From Wikipedia:
is a translucent, colourless, brittle, nearly tasteless solid substance, extracted from the collagen inside animals' connective tissue. It has been commonly used as an emulsifier in food, pharmaceutical, photography, and cosmetic manufacturing.

No, gelatin is made from rendered hooves, bones and connective tissue.
No. Jell-O's main ingredient is gelatin, which is a material usually taken from the bones and feet of cows and pigs. Lacto-ovo vegetarians would not normally eat Jell-O. There are some substitutes out there, though, which are slightly less common, like agar-agar, carrageen, pectin and guar gum. Do not confuse these with Kosher Gelatin, though, as it is derived from fish bones. Hain is a good brand to look for when selecting a non-animal gelling agent.
Here in the UK, there are several varieties of what we call jelly which do not contain gelatine :)
No, I avoid gelatin.
