What it is

Kosher fish gelatin is a protein derived from the skin and bones of fish, processed to meet kosher dietary laws. It is a form of gelatin, which is produced by boiling animal connective tissues. The kosher certification ensures it was prepared according to specific Jewish dietary guidelines.

Why it's used

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated gelatin and established acceptable daily intake levels. While generally considered safe, some individuals may experience mild digestive upset.
