OMG!! Thanks to everyone for the great info; it wil be tough to chose a best answer. I am really distirbed by what I am finding out. How can they put that in food w/o disclosing it in plan english? I almost don't want to know, but what "words" should I be looking for on labels to find these "hidden" extra ingredients? Am I over reacting? I have obviously been eating it for years, but it is just so digusting. Lastly, is GLUTEN related to geletin. Is it something else I need to know more about? Yuckkkk...

glues, paint, soap, toothpaste, candles..you name it, geletin and glycerine are in gazillions of products because the meat industry has done a great job of ensuring all the animal is used and therefore tying all these manufactures in to thier lobbying.

Food...yogurts ( did you know Sainsburys yogurt has dead pig and cows in it...WHY ???? ), bread, milks, jams, deserts, many processed foods.

To be honest, it would be easier to list products that exclude these animal products. I've been veggie for 27 years and in my expereince i guess about 75% of processed foods has animals in them.

EDIT: Just read your additonal details. Yes, it can be worrisome but just do your best. You are not over-reacting. If you are a vegetarian you need to exclude these items, its the right thing to do. You will get used to some manufacturuers being better than others. Unfortunately they do not have to label trace or ingredients used during the processing. For example, they could stir your veggie-pasta with cow legs and not tell you. Obviously they don't do this but get the idea - they DO use geletin in bindings - no need to tell us about that. They do wash tinned veggies in a refined sugar solution ( fish + oyster shells ) This is why i rely on the "suitable for vegetarians" label, or contact the manufacturer directly.

It takes some time to start with, many webnsites gives lists for you to browse so they ahve done some of the legwork for you. It'll soon be second nature and not take more than 10 minutes extra to shop.

You'll find the people who enjoy a sucessful vegetarian diet do so by using fresh ingredients from scratch, not tinned or processed foods.

best of luck with it
