Is there any gelatin that cannot potentially give you mad
cow disease

In industrial use, there is a fish gelatin and a pork
gelatin. The fish product is not nearly as versatile as
the beef or pork products.

This is an area of difficulty for Industry. In addition to
Mad Cow fears, beef gelatin is objectionable to Hindus, pork
gelatin is objectionable to Jews and Muslims.

An analysis of the gelatin manufacturing process suggests
that diseases have a good chance of not-surviving the severe
chemical processing. Also, because the gelatin is so
drastically "transformed" during processing, some Rabbi's
and Imams(?) will grant it Kosher and Halal status, but some
won't. Enough to drive you nuts

How do I make sure that my Dole snacks are not beef gelatin?
I don't want mad cow.

There are a lot of gelling agents that are not of animal
origin: agar, from a seaweed, is probably the first thing
that pops to mind, and one that's used in various Asian
cuisines. See, for example: bbc.co.ukaskthOpen ↗
