Gelatine is an animal derived setting agent - it's clear and practically tasteless. It's obtained by boiling the animal carcases, once all the meat has been removed, then straining the water to obtain the gelatine. Beef gelatine is from cows (sometimes called bovine gelatine). Gelatine comes in a powder form, or as a clear sheet (or 'leaf'). It dissolves in water, enabling substances to 'set', like jellies. A vegetarian alternative is agar gel, sometimes called "agar agar" gel. It's derived from seaweed and has a higher melting temperature (so you can serve a jelly with a warm sauce without the jelly melting).

You heard that if the packaging does not say beef pork gelatin then the food product is not haram Is there any truth in this?
It depends on the country, but generally, no. If the type of gelatin is not specified on the list of ingredients, it is usually pork-derived, which would make the gelatin-containing-product haram. If the gelatin used is halal beef gelatin (as opposed to haram beef gelatin - which can come from an improperly slaughtered cow) or is vegetarian gelatin, the product will indicate as much.
