Is marshmallows vegan?
Why
marshmallows is made by boiling the skin, bones and connective tissue of pigs and cattle — a slaughterhouse by-product.

How to check a label
Ingredient lists are legally required to name allergens such as milk and egg in bold, which catches most hidden animal ingredients. E-numbers and processing aids are the gap: E120, E441, E542, E904 and E920 are animal-derived, and processing aids often go unlisted. When in doubt, look for a certified vegan mark or ask the manufacturer directly — most reply within a few days.
