Gelatin.
Yes. Even in a crunchy mint, they figure a way to add gelatin! So far, I have found that most of the super strong, chalky mints are the only ones with gelatin (well those and the gummy mints). So most mints are A-OK for us to enjoy. Still concerned? You can always double check the back label to see what is in it. As a general rule I do that for all foods.
Will you guys be swapping out Altoids for a gelatin-free mint?
Bye from the veggie side!
I love this series! I would have never thought that an animal product was in Altoids! Thanks for opening my eyes to the pervasive use of animals in products. :)
ReplyDeleteaww that really means a lot to me! i'm glad to know that someone is benefiting from this :)
DeleteAh! Much to my dismay, I just discovered that a couple months ago as well. So disappointing and so unnecessary!! Do you have suggestions for those of us that prefer vegan mints?
