14. Gelatin Is A Non-Vegetarian Product

Sometimes, it’s hard to draw the line between what is considered vegetarian and what isn’t. The fact that most food processing companies don’t even clearly mention what goes into the making of their product can only add to the misunderstanding. Take for instance jelly.
