Gelatin (pork / beef) In Kellogg's products
Thank you for contacting Kellogg Company about the gelatin we add to some of our products. We are happy to provide you with this information.
Gelatin is used to help the texture of the product and is derived from
either beef or pork.
Kellogg's Frosted
Mini-Wheats and Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats cereals contain type B gelatin, which is derived from beef. Whenever marshmallow ingredients are present in a Kellogg's cereal brand, the marshmallow contains type gelatin, which is derived from pork.
Kellogg's Krave Snack Bars also contain type A gelatin derived
from pork sources.
Type B gelatin is derived from beef sources and is found in the frosting
of all varieties of Kellogg's Frosted Pop-Tarts, Kellogg's Frosted Pop-Tarts Snak-Stix
All varieties of Kellogg's Pop-Tarts Pastry Swirls, and Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Minis with Yogurt Icing. Plain (unfrosted) Kellogg's Pop-Tarts do not contain gelatin.
None of the equipment that comes in contact with the gelatin in Kellogg's
Frosted Pop-Tarts is used in the production of the other pastries.
Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats Squares contain type A gelatin in the marshmallow, which is derived from pork sources.
The pregelatinized wheat starch contained in some of our toaster pastries is derived from wheat and does not contain any gelatin.
Vegetable shortening only is used to produce plain or frosted Kellogg's
Pop-Tarts. No animal shortening is used.
We appreciate your patronage of our products and hope that this provides
you with the information you need to make food choices appropriate for
your family.
Sincerely,
Ana Lara
