Answers:
I found this for you!.!.!.!.

Thank you for contacting Kellogg Company about the gelatin we add to some of our products!. We are happy to provide you with this information!.

Gelatin is used to help the texture of the product and is derived from either beef or pork!. Kellogg's? Frosted Mini-Wheats? and Kellogg's? Rice Krispies Treats? cereals contain type B gelatin, which is derived from beef!. Whenever marshmallow ingredients are present in a Kellogg's? cereal brand, the marshmallow contains type A gelatin, which is derived from pork!. Kellogg's? Krave? Snack Bars also contain type A gelatin derived from pork sources!.

Type B gelatin is derived from beef sources and is found in the frosting of all varieties of Kellogg's? Frosted Pop-Tarts?, Kellogg's? Frosted Pop-Tarts? Snak-Stix?, all varieties of Kellogg's? Pop-Tarts? Pastry Swirls, and Kellogg's? Nutri-Grain? Minis with Yogurt Icing!. Plain (unfrosted) Kellogg's? Pop-Tarts? do not contain gelatin!. None of the equipment that comes in contact with the gelatin in Kellogg's? Frosted Pop-Tarts? is used in the production of the other pastries!.

Kellogg's? Rice Krispies Treats? Squares contain type A gelatin in the marshmallow, which is derived from pork sources!.

The pregelatinized wheat starch contained in some of our toaster pastries is derived from wheat and does not contain any gelatin!. Vegetable shortening only is used to produce plain or frosted Kellogg's? Pop-Tarts?!. No animal shortening is used!.

We appreciate your patronage of our products and hope that this provides you with the information you need to make food choices appropriate for your family!.

I really don't know!. Sorry, but with allergies, especially food allergies, it is better to be safe than sorry!.

Don't do it!. Don't eat them!. I know a guy who is allergic to Red #40!. It is that coloring agent that's in everything!. Poor guy can eat almost nothing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

When in doubt, ask!. The company itself would probably be the best to ask, and if you have allergies, don't take any chances!.

Read the ingredients listed!. If it only states "gelatin", then google up the ingredients listed!.!.!.!. that may give you more specific info!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You did not state the severity of your allergies!. Try a small portion and see what happens!. Or you could just avoid all questionable items!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I was going to try and find it for you but a_roid gotcha!Www@FoodAQ@Com
