Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I hate to break it to y'all, but Junior Mints, at least in the US, are not vegetarian; they contain gelatin. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junior_Mints those made in the UK and Canada, however, use agar agar instead, so they are safe. -Erin www.zenpawn.com/vegblog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I can tell you it's made from seaweed, but will defer to Wikipedia for a more detailed answer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agar -Erin www.zenpawn.com/vegblog , " shalomlmr " <shalomlmr wrote: > > I for one never even thought about gelatin being made from animals > and I do know you are right but I am not familiar with agar so could > you tell me a little about it please? thank you.--- > > In , " Erin " <truepatriot@> wrote: > > > > I hate to break it to y'all, but Junior Mints, > > at least in the US, are not vegetarian; they > > contain gelatin.
