Perhaps they specify it for those who do not consume pork products for religious reasons. And as for carmine, it sure beats dyes made from god knows what chemicals...and has been used for years without health concerns, unlike manufactured red dyes. I do not find the idea of a peppermint cookie cake the least bit appealing anyway, but this was far from your best writing.Willsmom5097https://www.blogger.com/profile/10006201179786668262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233184155385734517.post-51558477107067783382013-11-27T12:13:39.561-05:002013-11-27T12:13:39.561-05:00Yep.

But the ingredients specify "pork gelatin" here. I've never seen that before where it tells you specifically that it's from a pig, like they're proud of it :) Plus, it sounds funny to say "there's pork in this peppermint product."Nathan Rodgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00832185227267757941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233184155385734517.post-12118913610313307072013-11-27T09:39:01.901-05:002013-11-27T09:39:01.901-05:00LOL ok so you are aware that gelatin is and always...LOL ok so you are aware that gelatin is and always has been TYPICALLY made from pork? So, jello, marshmallows, etc--pretty much anything with gelatin is pork gelatin. I capitalized "typically" earlier because now there are vegan gelatins. So perhaps TJ's specified pork gelatin so as not to confuse those who may think the product is vegetarian?tigalileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474678867513488001noreply@blogger.com
