When I eat Skittles, I always wonder about the Gelatin used in it. I heard many debates and stuff but I need a final answer. Is Gelatin that most products use made from the bones of cows and pigs?

So according to Muslims (Islam), we are not allowed to eat pig. So can we eat it or no?

Skittles are a non-kosher food and not vegetarian in the USA. However in Europe they are kosher and vegetarian because they do not contain any gelatin.
gel·a·tin also gel·a·tine (jĕl'ə-tn)
n.
1.
1. A colorless or slightly yellow, transparent, brittle protein formed by boiling the specially prepared skin, bones, and connective tissue of animals and used in foods, drugs, and photographic film.

That being the case, observant Jews won't be able to eat Skittles and have milk products at the same time.

I've heard that it's made from their hooves. But yes, it's an animal by-product.
