IS there really pig skin in Skittles candy?

This is a common misconception that likely stems from confusion about gelatin, an ingredient found in some candies, including Skittles. Gelatin is a protein derived from collagen, which can come from animal sources like pigs, cows, or fish. However, Skittles does not contain gelatin.

Skittles are vegan-friendly and do not contain any animal products. They are made with sugar, corn syrup, citric acid, artificial flavors and colors, and titanium dioxide.
