Thank you for your inquiry regarding gelatin used in some of our products. We are glad you contacted us and 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. Type A gelatin is derived from pork and is found in Kellogg’s® cereal products that contain marshmallow additives, for example Kellogg’s® Marshmallow Froot Loops cereal and Kellogg’s Smorz® cereal. It is also found in all varieties of Kellogg’s® Rice Krispies Treats® Squares.
Type B gelatin is derived from beef and is found in all varieties of Kellogg’s® Frosted Pop-Tarts®, Kellogg’s® Frosted Mini-Wheats® cereal, and Kellogg’s® Rice Krispies Treats™ cereal. Some of our Kellogg’s Fruit Snacks contain gelatin. If the Fruit Snack does contain gelatin, it is from a beef source.
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. As a result, Plain (unfrosted) Kellogg’s® Pop-Tarts® do not contain gelatin. The pre-gelatinized wheat starch contained in some of our toaster pastries is derived from wheat and does not contain any gelatin.
Again, thank you for contacting us. We appreciate your loyal use of our products and hope that this provides you with the information you need to make food choices appropriate for you and your family.
Sincerely,
