If gelatin is non-bovine, does that mean that it is vegetarian?!
Answers:
Most of the time gelatin comes from pigs, so no, it is not vegetarian!. It is made of cartilage, bones and muscles all boiled together!. It is NOT vegetarian; it's a meat byproduct!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
Not necessarily!. In the US, you can usually check to see if it's Kosher!. If you can find a U or K with a circle in it, and the word "parve" (sometimes pareve), it means the gelatin does not contain meat or dairy products!.
If you live in a country that use E numbers on their labels, you can look up the E number instead!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
