Salafi Dawah is the best
As-salaamu `alaykum.
As for the claims like, this has such-and-such in it, and that has such-and-such in it, they need to be proven before being taken as valid.
Some of the scholars differ over gelatin(e), arguing that since it goes through chemical changes such that it's substance doesn't become meat anymore, that it is halaal. As proof they cite the example of a pig that dies in a salt pit and decomposes; the salt is still halaal (due to the chemical change of the decomposed pig, which becomes one with the salt!) according to the Hanafis (from Ibn `Abideen). Other examples include that of alcohol, how its source is halaal, but it (alcohol) is haraam, and its vinegar is halaal (restriced to naturally formed vinegar due to some other ahaadeeth).
:salam2:
even if haram gelatin say from a unknown animal ( could be pig) were chemically changed I still wouldn't eat it because it still comes from something we are clearly told not to eat, and if you consider it mushbooh then don't you think it's better to stay away from it. I knew a "salafi" who was selling cheese cake with haram gelatin because it was cheaper, and she wasn't telling her customers :astag: may Allah (SWT) forgiver her.
