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.
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.
They may contain pork gelatin.
Yes they do. All General Mills cereals with marshmallows in them have pork.
No..... anything with Marshmallows are though
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.
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.
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.
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.
No it does not have any pork in it.
The pork product commonly found in marshmallows is called gelatin. Gelatin is derived from collagen, which is obtained from the skin, bones, and connective tissues of animals, including pigs. It is used as a gelling agent to give marshmallows their characteristic texture. Some marshmallow brands may offer vegetarian or vegan alternatives that use plant-based gelling agents instead.
All vegan marshmallows - which contain no animal products and as such are parve - are kosher so long as they are kosher certified. The majority of kosher marshmallows on the market are made from fish gelatin which are also parve. Please see the related link for some brands of kosher marshmallows.
