Not meat, but they contain Gelatin, an animal byproduct that is also present in meat.
As almost all commercially available marshmallows contain gelatin, they cannot be considered vegan. However, a few brands do not contain animal gelatin, and the original recipe (using the whipped sap of the "marsh mallow" mucilaginous plant), indeed, contained no animal byproducts.
Many brands of marshmallows do not use pork products, particularly those that are labeled as vegetarian or vegan. One popular brand is Dandies, which makes marshmallows without gelatin, a common ingredient derived from animal products. Trader Joe's also offers gelatin-free marshmallows. Always check the packaging for specific ingredient information if avoiding pork is important to you.
They may contain pork gelatin.
Yes they do. All General Mills cereals with marshmallows in them have pork.
No..... anything with Marshmallows are though
it does depend because, some people are vegetarian and they don't eat pork or any meat. so in marshmallows it does depend on what sort of marshmallow. and is it really appropriate for camping.
No, not directly. The main ingredients are sugar and/or corn syrup, water, and gelatin. However, the gelatin used in marshmallows is derived from the skin and bones of cattle, including pigs. If you keep Kosher, several companies do make kosher gelatin, which is made with no pig by-products.
Yes. There are no dairy products in commercially made marshmallows.
No Name marshmallows typically use gelatin derived from pork or beef sources. The specific type of gelatin can vary by product, so it's always best to check the ingredient label for the most accurate information. If you have dietary restrictions or preferences, such as vegetarian or halal, you may want to look for marshmallows that specifically state they use plant-based alternatives or are gelatin-free.
look on the bag...

Gelatine is in marshmallows. Gelatine can be bovine (from cows) or porcine (from pigs); it is a gelling agent formed by boiling up the bones from pig or cow carcasses (but it is completely neutral in taste). Gelatine is also what sets Jell-o, most gummy sweets and some forms of cake icing.
well, check at the back, if in the ingredients it says contains gelatin, if its beef gelatin, its okay, but if its pig, or pork gelatin, its haram. but if it only says gelatin, then call the number at the back and ask them for yourself! 12/30/2010: After confirming with Kraft Foods Canada, the Gelatin in these marshmallows are indeed Pork based.
