There are several reasons why Heluva good uses gelatin in its dips. It keeps the dip from separating and makes it easier to spread uniformly, gives it a smooth texture (also enjoyed), and even helps its longevity on store shelves.

Heluva good dip is made with artificial gelatin that is not derived from kosher sources.

Gelatin is a thickening agent which helps thicken the dip by increasing its viscosity. The particular type of gelatin used in Heluva Good Dip is artificial gelatin.

This product has been modified from animal collagen and is not considered kosher because it contains animal by-products.

Kosher gelatin comes from kosher animals such as cows or pigs that have been slaughtered according to Jewish law.

The company does not use animal by-products to manufacture its products.

Not being vegetarian, I was surprised to learn that the company uses artificial gelatin in its products instead of animal by-products.

In a statement on the Heluva Good Dip website, they claim that they do not use animal by-products in manufacturing their products. They also state that their milk is 100% vegetarian and comes from cows not treated with rBST (a hormone found in most milk). All this makes me feel like I’m doing my part for animals!

Artificial gelatin does not derive from kosher sources.

Kosher gelatin comes from a kosher animal, like a cow or pig, so it’s kosher. Non-kosher gelatin comes from an animal that isn’t already considered kosher to eat or drink, like fish or shellfish.

The source of your gelatin can be vital if you follow certain dietary restrictions, such as Judaism’s kashrut (rules governing what foods are acceptable).

Conclusion

In summary, the company uses artificial gelatin, which is not derived from kosher sources.

They also do not use any animal by-products in their manufacturing process. The company states that they use a mixture of ingredients, including polysaccharide gum, guar gum, and cellulose, to get the same properties as gelatin without using it for their products.

This means they do not need to declare this product as being made from non-kosher source material on food labels or packaging information.
