Is jello really made out of pork?

Question

c'mon thats crazy!

Answer 1

YES ... as well as other animals, like cattle, etc.

The Manufacturing Process:

Inspection and cutting

1 When the animal parts arrive at the food processing plant, they are inspected for quality. Rotted parts are discarded. Then, the bones, tissues, and skins are loaded into chopping machines that cut the parts into small pieces of about Sin (12.7cm) in diameter.

Degreasing and roasting

2 The animal parts are passed under high-pressure water sprays to wash away debris. They are then degreased by soaking them in hot water to reduce the fat content to about 2%. A conveyer belt moves the degreased bones and skins to an industrial dryer where they are roasted for approximately 30 minutes at about 200° F (100° C).
Acid and akaline treatment

3 The animal parts are soaked in vats of lime or some other type of acid or akali for approximately five days. This process removes most of the minerals and bacteria and facilitates the release of collagen. The acid wash is typically a 4% hydrochloric acid with a pH of less than 1.5. The alkaline wash is a potassium or sodium carbonate with a pH above 7.

Boiling

4 The pieces of bone, tissue, and skin are loaded into large aluminum extractors and boiled in distilled water. A tube running from the extractor allows workers to draw off the liquid that now contains gelatin. The liquid is sterilized by flash-heating it to about 375° F (140° C) for approximately four seconds.
Evaporating and grinding

5 From the extractor, the liquid is piped through filters to separate out bits of bone, tissue or skin that are still attached. From the filters, the liquid is piped into evaporators, machines that separate the liquid from the solid gelatin. The liquid is piped out and discarded. The gelatin is passed through machines that press it into sheets. Depending on its final application, the gelatin sheets are passed through a grinder that reduces them to a fine powder.

Flavoring and coloring

6 If the gelatin is to be used by the food industry, sweeteners, flavorings, and colorings may be added at this point. Pre-set amounts of these additives are thoroughly mixed into the powdered gelatin.
Packaging

The packaging process is automated, with preset amounts of gelatin poured into overhead funnels through which the gelatin flows down into bags made of either polypropylene or multi-ply paper. The bags are then vacuumed sealed.

Quality Control

Gelatin manufacturers must adhere to stringent national and international food processing requirements. These regulations include but are not limited to cleanliness of the plant, equipment and employees; and allowable percentages of additives, flavorings, and colorings.

Automated and computerized technologies allow the processors to preset and monitor ingredient amounts, time and temperature, acidity and alkalinity, and flow levels. Valves are installed along pipelines to allow for continuous sampling of the product.

Gelatin is processed to varying "bloom" values that measure the gel strength or firmness. The desired strength corresponds to the manner in which the gelatin will be used. The bloom value is technically measured and monitored throughout the production process.

Answer 3

Jello contains gelatin which is made from animal skin and bones, usually pig's or cow's. It doesn't contain actual pork, but it does contain parts of a pig.

Answer 5

No really it's true. I am amazed so many people seem to be unaware of how their food is produced. Gelatin is a by-product of the butcher and render process. MMMMMM goodness all around - waste not want not. This isn't news either - as long as there has been jello it has been made from gelatin (that same nasty looking stuff that you see in a can of Spam) spamity spam

Answer 6

It contains gelatin. Gelatin is made by boiling the skin, bones, & connective tissues of ANIMALS to form a product that is almost colorless & odorless & high in protein! The pigs don't go in alone, they have a lot of company from many other animals. Farm, foreign & domestic are included! You CAN buy vegetarian substitutes! Kosher gelatin has no pork, so they say! :o)

Answer 7

you would think that a company as huge as the folks that make jello could find a way to leave pork out of the process so that more people could enjoy it.

Answer 8

Well, it is made out of gelatin, which is found in pig's hooves, so technically, I guess so. All I know is I used to have these little Muslim triplets in my kindergarten, and their mom totally freaked out when she heard we'd had Jello for snack time that day, because they don't eat pork. Oops...

Answer 9

I don't eat pork for my religion. I will stop eating Jello…. too bad

Not necessarily. The gelatin in Jell-O brand IS made from animal bones and hide, but not necessarily pork.
