Kosher gelatin

Kosher gelatin is mostly made from fish bone, cow and pig skin. Kosher food can also use dairy products, contrary to popular belief. The Laws of Judaism are complex, and animal bones and skins in gelatin products are considered pareve. The general meaning of pareve is food that does not contain milk or meat, and many Jews regard such a product as vegetarian. However, ou Pareve acknowledges ingredients that are permitted in animal products, such as fish, eggs and gelatin.

Since gelatin is derived from animal skin and bones - not real meat - and has undergone serious modifications, it is no longer considered meat (fleishig) but pareve and can be eaten with dairy products. Note: The reason for the unsuccessful application of gelatin made by local enterprises using animal bone glue such as cow bone and fish bone is that the production process cannot guarantee the meat residues in cow bone and fish bone. Therefore, unable to go through the Kosher process, and thus the heart of the Jewish market is blocked.
