Great comment - so right on point!
The only fish gelatin we knowingly eat is with gefilte fish at passover. We try to stay away from "gelatinized" food products.

I sometimes buy the Fage 0%. I like both the 0% and 2% Fage Plain Greek.
Mmmmmmm.......
That is it! I sooo love it. Another thing I do is make a Fage parfait. Almonds, honey, coconut and add some pineapple. A real treat and so filling for lunch.

For those wondering about carmine - it is a red food coloring made from a certain type of ground up bug, yes that is right BUG. It has been used for years in all sorts of things including foods, cosmetics & beverages. I don't believe it is used in Kosher foods.

Hi Toby
That is a real good question. Most people don't realize what is in the products, unless they are avid label readers. I am sure that is why the manufacturers make the print so small now, half the time you cannot real it with a magnifying glass. Seriously!
I do not eat gelatin, unless it is organic vegetarian. I am not a total vegetarian, I eat fish (wild USA) but want the gelatin from veg sources. Even my vitamins. I would not be opposed to fish as a gelatin source, but not Tilapia. I just haven't used it yet.
Although who knows what they make capsules for RX's with?

icuryy,

Just to clarify, I did not intend to be insulting to anyone wishing to avoid fish gelatin. My point was that we knowing eat a lot of things that is actually a bit more "questionable." I actually applaud those who are avid label readers as I think it is important than we know what is in our food -- particularly the manufactured foods that so many people rely upon these days.
Although I do not find fish gelatin squeamish per se, I actually do not eat fish (even gefilte fish at Passover).

most gelatin used to come from beef marrow; don't know if they use others sources now or not

As I understand it, pigskin and other pork products is where most of it comes from now.
