Trader Joe's is getting ready for the holidays by offering some festive treats, including the adorable Gummy Tummy Penguins. Since these would be perfect stocking stuffers for my nephews, I got a bag so I could sample them. After eating about 10 penguins I got the idea that I should check if they were gluten free for my youngest nephew.
The second ingredient:
pork gelatin.
Seriously. Do they need to be specific? I know most gelatin is derived from animals, but when I read pork gelatin I can't help but picture pigs feet boiling away in a pot. I couldn't eat anymore.
Incidently, the last ingredient was wheat starch, so I guess that leaves them off the list.
