The ingredients (like all food products) are listed on the pkg but flavoring, sugar, salt, gelatin . . .
On a commercial scale, gelatin is made from by-products of the meat and leather industry, mainly pork skins, pork and cattle bones, or split cattle hides. Contrary to popular belief, horns and hooves are not commonly used. The raw materials are prepared by different curing, acid, and alkali processes which are employed to extract the dried collagen hydrolysate and which may take several weeks. The worldwide production amounts to 250,000 tons per year (roughly 550 million lbs).

Jello is made out of flavored water. You boil the water and the put it in the refridgerator, and that causes a reaction. You got jello!

The production of gelatin typically starts with the boiling of cattle bones or pig skins; contrary to popular conception, horns and hooves are not used. This material is then soaked with acid or alkali in large vats to extract and hydrolyze the protein collagen. The extract is then dried and ground to form a powder.
