If I've found something that has gelatin in it, I just call up the customer service lines and ask. They will usually send me coupons for my troubles Or, surf the company website, because some will list it on there. Blue Bunny does this.

Edys Icecream is kosher, except for Rocky Road and anything else that may have marshmallows in it. But, still call em up, because they sent us a lot of coupons.

Now, just as a disclaimer, just because something is kosher doesn't make it zabiha. Zabiha refers to the method of slaughter. Some people who keep their food guidelines strictly will not eat anything meat related unless it was slaughtered in the islamic manner. Kosher may not meet those guidelines, although in many cases it does. Definately should be something investigated further if it's of importance to you.

When in doubt, say bismillah before eating

i didnt even realize gelatin came from pork. i am staying away from pork because it just isnt good for you. and honestly i dont miss it at all. i eat alot of chicken, seafood, and beef. i have never really liked pork (except for ham). i have also started buying turkey bacon and turkey italian sausage.

i was thinking about that because i heard the casing could be pork . i take the casing off tho because i dont like it lol i have always done that. but samir cant eat it because the casing touched the meat. are there any kinds without pork casing?

LOL!

Jello brand gelatin is made with kosher gelatin so he can eat that

Some yogurts, candies, fruit snacks, etc. contain gelatin as well so you really have to read your labels. That is if you're vigilant about it.

If you call Kraft Foods and ask the source of their gelatin in the Jell-O products, they will tell you collagen that is derived from pork and beef. Their claim is that the food source is no longer recognizable after processing.

I remember reading somewhere that a manufacturer needs no certification to put the K symbol alone on a food product. There are various Kosher certifiers with other symbols and their guidelines can vary (differences of opinion on whether hide/bones are considered meat).

It all depends on how strict you want to take it. My husband only eats zabihah, so this excludes Kosher as well as any other products that contain animal products - unless it comes from a zabihah source. Makes for a lot of reading of labels.

This may be a stupid question but I will never know the answer if I don't ask, right?? What exactly do you mean by "cased"...in terms of the food being cased in pork??? How do I find out if it's not on the package? just call the company? and is all gelatin made from pork? sorry if this is stupid but I really don't know..

Most turkey sausage is cased in pork casings. It will say so in the ingredients.

Not all gelatin is made from pork. Some is made from vegetable or beef byproducts. If you're in doubt just call the company.

It's the casing on sausages. You know that thin chewy thing that holds the meat inside? That's the casing.
