Are Sour Skittles vegan?!


Question: Are Sour Skittles vegan!?
More vegetarian, maybe, but I don't think it contains any dairy product o_o
I read the ingredients on the back of my sour skittles package right now and it read "gelatin" as one of them!. Now, I know that gelatin can either come from animals, or plants!. It didn't specify, and someone I know pointed out it could possibly mean the gelatin derived from plants!. But I'm not sure!. Does anyone know!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Skittles are made be Mars, a company with absolutely no sympathy towards animals!. They are the only candy company I know of who have and still continue to test on animals(yes, even food companies do)!. The gelatin in both Skittles and Starburst is most definately animal-based, so they are not vegetarian OR vegan!. Vegetable-based gelatin is a rare concept as of yet!. British Skittles, Starburst, and frosted Pop-Tarts apparently contain no gelatin as the word is that they are vegan, but in North America they certainly do(I know for a fact that the gelatin in Kellogg's frosted Pop-Tarts is of beef origin, for they told me this as an indirect comment to my question)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

gelatin is from animals you are confusing it with glycerin (which can come from either animals or plants but i wouldn't take that risk unless i was sure it's from plants!. anyways that is a no!. i'm pretty sure skittles gum are !.!.!.!. i need to check again to be 100%Www@FoodAQ@Com
