Guinness Is Made Of Isinglass!
Hold the phones. The Vegan Society recently gave out its 2005 awards. The winner of the "Vegan Raspberry Award", given to a product that should be (but isn't) vegan, is Guinness Stout. Apparently, it contains isinglass, which is a form of gelatin made from the swimbladders of fish.

I learned this recently and thought it was interesting. The isinglass is used in the production of the beer but and is removed from it at the end of the process. However, since it isn't guaranteed that not all of it gets removed, then it can't be a vegan/vegetarian beer. I'm not a vegan or a vegetarian, but I thought it was interesting.
Interesting indeed. Do people know of other products where an animal ingredient is used only during manufacture and then removed, but can't be called veggie/vegan as a result?
