Are gummy worms vegan？
The professional technical article in the top five gummy production equipment by sales in 2021 shows that worm gummy is a trendy candy. Although many people think that candy is a portion of vegetarian food, you don’t know that worm is gummy. It is not a portion of vegetarian food because gelatin is added to the worm gum, and any food with gelatin added is not a vegetarian food.
The raw materials for making worm gums are white sugar, glucose syrup, gelatin, and food flavors and pigments. The primary material affected is gelatin. However, gelatin is not a vegetarian food.
Gelatin is a vital substance that makes worm gums very chewy and indispensable raw material for making worm gums. Gelatin is a kind of collagen extracted from pigskin, cowhide, pig bones, and cow bones. It is rich in nutrients and has a significant meaning to the human body. However, it also makes worm gums a non-vegetarian food.
Some people think that gelatin is extracted from trotters or cow’s hooves. This is a very wrong idea because the keratin in the foot cannot be removed from gelatin. It can only be extracted from animal skins and bones.
