The kosher consumer will be pleased to note that the OU certifies such a gelatin as well. Of course, there are products that require beef gelatin, and no suitable alternative exists.
There are currently several OU-certified companies that produce fish gelatin. Since kosher fish skins are plentiful and relatively inexpensive, fish gelatin has been a boon for meeting the growing world-wide demand for kosher. Kosher fish gelatin is extracted from the skins and bones of kosher fish, those that possess both fins and scales. Indeed, in order to produce kosher gelatin, equipment that processed gelatin products might need kosherization, depending on the nature of the contact between the equipment and the product.Īnother variety of gelatin, which has proven useful in meeting the needs of kosher consumers as well as the Muslim and Hindu communities, is fish gelatin. It has been rejected by every major kosher certifying agency. This is because they felt that the gelatin extraction process caused the skins and bones to be sufficiently denatured, to the point that they are no longer considered food. The question is: Can gelatin from non-kosher sources be permitted? Although cows that were not ritually slaughtered, and, of course, pigs, are certainly not kosher, some rabbis were lenient in allowing products that had very small amounts of gelatin added. Since “real” gelatin is derived from animal sources, it has been the focus of debate for nearly 100 years among leading rabbis.
In some products, it can be a fair substitute for gelatin. There is no vegetarian source for collagen, and while one might see “vegetable gelatin” listed on a product label, it would typically be, in actuality, agar agar, a seaweed derivative. Gelatin is derived from collagen, a substance found in the skins and bones of animals such as pigs and cows. While this is wonderful news for the general population, it has not always been great news for the kosher consumer. New and innovative uses for gelatin are being created all the time. Because gelatin is also an excellent adhesive, it may even be used to affix sprinkles to pastries. Pies, mousses and whipped creams are all enhanced with the inclusion of a small bit of gelatin. Typically, it is added to yogurts and ice creams to give them a thicker consistency.
Gelatin is a key component in a whole array of gummy and jelly-style confections. Who would have thought that a colorless, brittle, almost tasteless substance called “gelatin” can transform a lump of sugar into an irresistible confection? The truth is that gelatin is a very versatile and important ingredient whose value has long been recognized in many sectors of the food industry.
