    I always thought it was pigs trotters… not horse hooves… how would it be possible with horse hooves??

    Yes it is, and as a vegetarian you generally want to avoid it. Besides jello, gelatin is also found in starbursts, anything glazed. Make sure to check the ingredients label.

    I often describe it as "slaughterhouse waste".

    The jello that is not refridgerated (already made) and dosen’t need to be does not contain gelatin. I think it is Kool Aid brand that has it. It tastes just a little different but it is still good.

    yes, its made out of animal parts like skins, bones and marrow.
    so it definately isnt suitable to a vegetarian
    never fear!
    theres a vegetarian alternative, its called agar-agar and its made out of seaweed (dw, it doesnt taste any different) so its vegetarian suited.. some jellies are made with this so you might have to do some searching
    good luck! xx
    sorry i dont have any of the names but i dont eat jelly myself

    Yes, Gelatin is made from the boiled bones, skins and tendons of animals. It is essentially the collagen inside animals’ connective tissue.

    You can make a non-gelatin jello however: http://www.recipezaar.com/176280

  8. VeggieTart Says:

    It’s not from hooves (I recently found out) and it’s not from horses, but gelatin is made of the bones, connective tissues, and hides of slaughtered animals, usually cows and pigs.

    So, NO, you cannot eat Jello or anything else that contains gelatin.
