Copied directly from Wikipedia:
"Mono- and diacylglycerols (diglycerides) are common food additives used to blend together certain ingredients, such as oil and water, which would not otherwise blend well!.
The commercial source may be either animal (cow- or hog-derived) or vegetable, derived primarily from soy bean and canola oil!. They may also be synthetically produced!. They are often found in bakery products, beverages, ice cream, chewing gum, shortening, whipped toppings, margarine, and confections!."
I don't know where you are, but in the UK if they were derived from vegetable or synthetic sources, it would be labelled with a 'V' or 'Suitable for Vegetarians'!. If you're in the US, check to see if there's a mark on the label indicating that it's kosher (a big K, or an O with a U in the middle, or just ask someone), and with a P or D!. If it's got a P, they would be from vegetable sources!. If it's kosher, it's almost impossible that the diglycerides would come from animal sources, certainly not hog!
