Does gelatin/pudding/marshmallow ect have animal by product in it?

Q: I heard it has like cow hoof and it isnt vegetarian?

A: It’s been years since Jello has used animal products for their gelatin. All gelatin sold today in the U.S. is synthetic.Despite the votes and wiccagirl24’s statement that I’m horribly wrong (with no proof or reference), Jello does not have animal hooves in it. A lot of strongly held beliefs, but I’ve listed the source below: “Popular belief has it that gelatin comes from horses’ and cows’ hooves. Kraft, the maker of JELL-O, asserts that hooves do not contain the necessary collagen and therefore are not used in the production of its JELL-O brand gelatin product.”And to clarify the answer of any animal product, the FDA does not classify JELL-O as having either: “The production of gelatin starts with the boiling of bones, skins, and hides of cows and pigs, a process that releases the protein-rich collagen from animal tissues. The collagen is boiled and filtered numerous times, dried, and ground to a powder. Because the collagen is processed extensively, the final product is not categorized as a meat or animal product by the federal government. Very strict vegetarians avoid gelatin entirely, but more permissive vegetarians have no problem including JELL-O in their diets.”So the best answer is, no, our government/FDA doesn’t consider JELL-O to have any animal products. What any individual may believe may be different based on their definition.

Carefully and in three additions, pour the warm syrup down the side of the mixing bowl into the egg whites, mixing well between each addition with the hand mixer at a medium speed setting.
