Question

Do they still use animal fat to make gelatin?

Answer 1

still? gelatin has never been made with animal fat.

Answer 2

No it's made from bones.  Just like broth for soup except they don't cook it as long.

Answer 3

yep yummy

Answer 4

Gelatin is not made from animal fat.  It's made from bone, hide and connective tissue.  It always has been and, as long as the ingredient you're looking at is called "gelatin," it always will be.  There are other, plant-based thickeners like carageenan and agar agar, but they will never appear in an ingredient list as gelatin.

Answer 5

They don't use fat, nope. The gelatin/gelatine you find in some food, gum, mints, etc is made through boiling the bones, tendons, connective tissues, intestines and hooves of domestic animals like cows, pigs and even horses.

I started checking ingredient labels closely after I learned that. lol

Answer 6

It's not made from fat and it never was.

Answer 7

Gelatin is not made of animal fat. It is collected by boiling the bones and remaining connective tissue and then processing the substances that pollute the water.

Gelatin is always from dead animals. There is no such thing as vegetarian gelatin and there never will be. There are great alternatives such as agar-agar and carrageenan but they are not types of gelatin
