mark 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2005 Haribol, Always best to read the label - in the UK most jam is usually labelled as being suitable for vegetarians and uses pectin, wuich is gelling agent made from fruit peel. If the label says it uses pectin as the gelling agent you are ok (I think!) Else you could make your own jam if you have enough time - that way you know whats gone into it. Hare Krishna!

Gelatine is an unacceptable product to vegetarians as it is a by-product of the slaughterhouse industry, being made of protein derived from animal bones, cartilage, tendons and other tissues such as pig skin. but there are some that are made from seaweeds like carrageen and the like. there are a lot of chewy candies that use gelatine from the beef marrow. check first on the ingredients label. but as the saying goes, better safe than sorry. check no this site to know more http://www.vegsoc.org/info/gelling.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
