@rostsit , while you are right, in that actual gelatine is made from animals, there are some gelatine-like substances that are made from plants, such as gummy candies made from fruit pectin.
But yes, I think they got mixed up! 😓
I know about pectin and other substitutes. But if it clearly says gelatin - it's gelatin, period.
@rostsit , Yes I know that.🙂 I was just mentioning it because many people are not aware of gelatine being made from animals, and they may have seen some vegan jellies and thought they were the same as the ones made from actual gelatine. I'm sorry I didn't communicate that clearly.☹️ I was just trying to say that I think they got mixed up between the pectin jellies and the gelatine jellies.
Honestly, this whole thing could be avoided if they simply created new vegetarian-friendly variant, like Pectin Rainbow Cake, or Agar Agar Rainbow Cake, or something similar and left the Gelatin variant untouched as non-vegetarian. Just my two cents.
