Over 300,000 metric tons of animal-derived gelatin are produced worldwide every year, making it a common ingredient in many foods, but is 'jel' vegan?. The short answer is that traditional 'jel' desserts, including the brand-name product Jell-O, are not vegan because their gelling agent is almost always gelatin, a protein sourced from animals. However, the market is full of delicious and cruelty-free plant-based alternatives that can create a similar gelatinous texture.
