Children of Israel-GELATIN IS UNCLEAN
What is Gelatin?
Gelatin is a collection of peptides and proteins produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen extracted from the skin, bones, and connective tissues of animals such as domesticated cattle, chicken, pigs, and fish. However, it can also be produced from chicken, birds, ducks, or even insects. Note that all gelatin is made from animals.
What is Gelatin used for?
Because of its structure, gelatin is often used as a gelling or thickening agent in foods and cosmetics. In fact, manufacturers sell more gelatin to the food industry than any other gelling agent. It gives marshmallows their pillowy bounce, lends a chewy texture to gummy candies, and is used in foods like cream cheese to make them fluffier. It can even be used in pill coatings.
