[All] Did you know that <Haribo> jelly is made from 'pig collagen'?!

Our favorite Haribo jelly~

But does anyone know what ingredients make that jelly?

Then first, let's check the ingredients list. Kung-kung-kung-kung~

Huh? Haribo jelly that looks like it's made of vegetables is actually pork gelatin?!

(Haribo, you little guy...you're a pig, lol)

Sweet jelly that is enjoyed as a snack . Many people like jelly, but not many people know the process of making jelly . Also, few people know that the process of making jelly begins with ' pigs ' .

On the 24th ( local time ), the British daily Metro revealed the process of making ' gelatin ' , the main ingredient in the jelly we commonly eat . If you look at the information revealed by Metro, you can see how ' pigs ' become ' jelly ' .

The main ingredient of jelly is ' gelatin ' , and gelatin can be obtained from ' pigs ' . Therefore, the first step in making jelly is to ' slaughter ' a pig .

After the slaughter process is complete, the meat, skin , and fat of the pig are separated . Collagen is extracted from the skin, bones , tendons , and ligaments of the pig, and then boiled with water to create gelatin .

The gelatin produced in this way is dried and processed into powder . The gelatin powder is sent to a jelly manufacturing facility, where the gelatin powder is mixed with various additives and made into jelly .

Gelatin is what gives jelly its chewy texture . The chewiness of jelly is due to gelatin . In addition to jelly, foods with a chewy texture, such as marshmallows, are often made with ' gelatin ' .

The fact that sweet jelly is made from pigs is shocking, but it is not a problem that should be rejected . Most of the parts of pigs that are used to extract collagen to make gelatin are discarded parts that cannot be used as meat . Since it is recycling discarded parts, the meat industry is very positive about gelatin .

There seem to be many people who ate Haribo without knowing what ingredients were used to create its chewy texture.

I hope you enjoy this delicious dish made by recycling discarded pork parts with a good heart.

By similar logic, the creamer used in mixed coffee is said to be environmentally friendly because it is made by refining lard.
