What are some common dead animal byproducts use in food?


Could someone tell me the name of ingredients and what in what foods they are commonly found and maybe if anyone knows alternative brands or foods etc that don't have the byproducts.

'tis a big question !

You might start by reading through this page about stumbing blocks from the vegetarian society:

This one page covers far more than one could cover in an answer here

Michael posted a great list...it lists cochineal extract--but it's important to watch out for Carmine coloring, which it is more commonly listed as.

Collagen is derived from cows and is commonly used in gelatinous desserts.

Michael H, thanks for the link, I am so surprised about some products!!! I'd give you a "thumbs up", but i have Level 1..

NO you do it
I assign that as a life task or goal for you to do..!!
don't forget to look at medicines like the capsules made from gelatin and take the mechanical heart valve over the cow valve.

sorry just nonsense
