Managing Your Gelatin Intake (with Help from a Six-Year-Old)
Rice Krispies contains rice, sugar, salt, high fructose corn syrup, malt flavoring, and a huge assortment of vitamins and iron. There is no gelatin in Rice Krispies. Your daughter is probably speaking of Rice Krispies Treats, which are made with marshmallows, which do include gelatin. There are kosher marshmallows on the market, but they use a fish-based gelatin, so even that would not help you produce a gelatin-free RKT. Alternatively, though, you can use Marshmallow Fluff to make Rice Krispies Treats, and Marshmallow Fluff contains only corn syrup, sugar, dried egg white, and vanillin. Our government does not require food manufacturers to divulge the sources of their gelatin. Most commercially processed gelatin is made from pig skin. |
