Since gelatine is made up of animal bones and marrow etc. there is actually no gelatine made up of plants BUT there is a sort of plant-based substitute that has many of the same properties of gelatine and is called pectin. Unfortunately, it is way less common than gelatine.

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.
Why can't vegetarians eat gelatin?
No. Pescatarians eat seafood, along with an otherwise vegetarian diet. Gelatin is typically manufactured from cloven animals (e.g. hooves). That being said, if a pescatarian chooses to eat gelatin or gelatin containing products, that would be his/her choice. Pescatarians only eat fish. There is gelatin made from fish, but it is not commonly available.
How can you tell if the gelatin in a food product is made with animal by products?

There are no pork derivatives in the recipe for Oreos. Any fat contained is vegetable oil, not animal fat, so this product is kosher. Kraft Foods makes them, and I believe that they have a kosher symbol on them.
Is Hydrolyzed gelatin kosher?
Whether of not a specific hydrolyzed gelatin is Kosher or not depends on which animal it is sourced from. It is an animal product. The container/bottle it comes in would be required to display a Kosher certification symbol to be considered kosher. Otherwise it is automatically assumed it is treyf or non-kosher.
