Does jelly have gelatin in it?

Question

I'm not referring to jelly in jell-o, but jelly as in 'peanut butter and jelly'. I've heard different things and would love to clarify this answer!

Answer 1

Check the ingredients, but it shouldn't.

Answer 2

it depends normally i think of anything gummy or wiggly as gelatin, i always read labels and make sure i am nt eating gelatin

some items with gelatin include:

marshmallows, jell-o, some pudding, gummy bears/ worms, and some ice creams, but i dont believe that

Answer 3

No.  Who cares even if it does! The animals are dead anyway.

Answer 4

The primary thickener in jelly is usually pectin, a complex carbohydrate molecule of plant origin.  (Gelatin is a protein.)

It's not inconceivable that someone might have made jelly with gelatin, but it would be decidedly unusual.

Answer 5

Not usually.  It has fruit pectin to give it the jelly consistency.

Answer 6

not the kind im eating now

Answer 7

Jam (UK) or jelly (US) doesn't contain gelatine.

Answer 8

Read the ingredients, pectin is usually used.

Answer 9

I think so kinds of it cane, but most don't.

Jello does. I think that may be what you're thinking of.
