From Halachipedia

- Some sephardic poskim say that there's what to rely on to eat any type of gelatin since in the processing of gelatin, the bones of non-kosher animals are degraded into non-edible substances which are then regenerated with chemicals.[1]
- Regarding gelatin in medications, see the Medications page.

- Rambam maachalot asurot 4:18 says that you’re patur on eating bones from non-kosher animals. Rav Chaim Ozer (Achiezer 33:5) says that dry bones ground up into gelatin should be muter. Rambam just said patur since he was talking about moist bones, however, dry bones are muter. Also, the bone is crushed and eaten up by acid so we shouldn’t have to worry about noten taam ligam of tastes in the bones from the meat after 24 hours.
