In addition, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) classifies gelatin as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe).
It is a pure product with a high protein value (greater than 85% of its composition), presenting all the essential amino acids required by the human body with the exception of tryptophan.
Gelatin is neither classified an additive nor a preservative, but as a food, which means that it is an ingredient that does not have an e-number. It also does not contain fats or carbohydrates..
