USA, March 9, 2006: Pardip Kumar of Malaysia sent us the following material

which comes from the Kellog's website at "source." The information reveals

that

several of the popular snack products that appear to be vegetarian are

actually

not.

 

Gelatin is used to help the texture of the product and is derived from

either

beef or pork. Kellogg's® Frosted Mini-Wheats® and Kellogg's® Rice

Krispies Treats® cereals contain type B gelatin, which is derived from

beef.

 

Whenever marshmallow ingredients are present in a Kellogg's®cereal brand,

the

marshmallow contains type A gelatin, which is derived from pork.

Kellogg's®

Krave Snack Bars also contain type A gelatin derived from pork sources.

 

Type B gelatin is derived from beef sources and is found in the frosting of

all

varieties of Kellogg's® Frosted Pop-Tarts®, Kellogg's® Frosted

Pop-Tarts® Snak-Stix, all varieties of Kellogg's® Pop-Tarts®Pastry

Swirls, and Kellogg's® Nutri-Grain® Minis with Yogurt Icing.

 

Plain (unfrosted) Kellogg's® Pop-Tarts® do not contain gelatin. None of

the

equipment that comes in contact with the gelatin in Kellogg's®Frosted

Pop-Tarts® is used in the production of the other pastries.

 

Kellogg's® Rice Krispies Treats® Squares contain type A gelatin in the

marshmallow, which is derived from pork sources.
