What kind of gelatin is in fruit snack?

Beef gelatin is the primary type used in fruit snacks, as it sets up quickly and melts in the mouth. Pork gelatin sometimes is used in recipes, but less often than beef gelatin because it can be challenging to find. Fish gelatin is not employed since it has a slightly “fishy” flavor. Instead, plant-based alternatives, like agar and pectin, are used in vegan and vegetarian fruit snacks.
