What it is
Beef gelatin is a protein derived from collagen found in the skin, bones, and connective tissues of cattle. It is produced by boiling these animal parts in water, which breaks down the collagen into gelatin. The resulting liquid is then purified, concentrated, and dried.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use beef gelatin as a gelling agent, stabilizer, and thickener. It is commonly found in desserts like Jell-O, marshmallows, gummy candies, and also in some dairy products and processed meats.
Health notes
Beef gelatin is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein and amino acids. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated gelatin, and JECFA has established an acceptable daily intake. There are no widespread health concerns associated with typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Beef gelatin is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
