Is Jell-O suitable for vegans/vegetarians?

Asked a year ago
Jell-O is not suitable for vegans as it contains gelatin, an animal-derived ingredient made from collagen. However, there are vegan alternatives available in the market that use plant-based gelling agents like agar agar or carrageenan. These offer similar gelatinous texture and can be used in recipes as a substitute for Jell-O. It's important to check product labels and look for specifically labeled vegan or vegetarian gelatin substitutes to ensure compatibility with a vegan or vegetarian diet. By choosing these alternatives, vegans and vegetarians can enjoy delicious gelatin desserts without compromising their dietary preferences.
