RE: Rice Krispie treats? - Jelly Belly question

[Guest guest]

I haven't had the heart to research this yet - does anyone know if Jelly

Belly's have gelatin in them? I'm betting yes - if for no other reason

than I really like them.

Jello, marshmallows and made chewy candies contain getatin and it's made

from bolied down animal parts, hooves and snouts. I know, now that is

gross.

" Jelly Bellys: vegetarian, but not vegan

 

I'm a fan of Jelly Belly jellybeans, especially the

popcorn and toasted marshmallow flavors. One thing

that's concerned me, though is that a lot of

jellybeans are made with gelatin, which is clearly not

vegetarian. I had heard that Jelly Belly brand was

safe, and didn't see any gelatin listed on their

label, but I decided to e-mail them just in case, to

make sure.

 

The response, from Mr. Jelly Belly, was positive:

there are no animal or animal-derived products

(including gelatin) in Jelly Belly jellybeans, but

vegans may want to avoid them because they are coated

in a mixture that contains beeswax, to give the beans

their glossiness.

 

That's the final word for you.
