Gelatine of course isn't vegetarian, but not every one thinks this.

Still no follow up from their head office, but I pressed the manager here for answers and he produced all that his head office had given him (and he made it sound like they wouldn't even give it to the stores routinely)
The ingredients for the toppings are all vegan (at a glance, I was in a rush) but they hadn't provided him with ingredients for the powdered things or the syrups at all.
The managers "excuse" for it was that they were a young company, they'd only been in Australia since 1992... 1992?! It's 2011!!!
Spoke to my lawyer-y boss and he said that the laws for foods are always changing and that he'd make some inquiries over the weekend...
Why can't doing the right thing be simple?

is this to say that its safe to eat their jellies?
im vegetarian but i wont eat gelatine : |

yeah, I think we're good on anything that doesn't have a powdered substance added, the july things

EDIT: I can't remember what I was getting at, I think I meant milky things
I haven't seen the ingredients for the "non-dairy" creamer, but since they usually contain some dairy I wouldn't trust it

Harder to make the connection when it doesn't look like a dead animal

Okay i really am getting truly fed up,
if the person i talked to on the phone wasn't as polite as she was i would have fumed.
I have called up regarding the jellies numerous times and sent them emails a few times, and i have no answers ive been somewhat at it for the past two months and if i don't get an email within the next week im actually going to call no matter what and get angry at them if they refuse to send me an email regarding jelly information, because under the law a company needs to provide you with ingredients if you ask for them they have failed to do so SOOOO many times its complete and utter bull sh*t (excuse the language).

If anyone has ingredient information please share.
