Is there any animal product in marshmallows?

Traditional marshmallows are made from sugar, water, and Gelatin, with gelatin being derived from animal collagen, typically sourced from pigs or cows. Therefore, standard marshmallows do contain animal products. However, there are vegetarian and vegan alternatives available that use plant-based gelling agents like agar-agar or carrageenan instead of gelatin. Always check the ingredient label if you're avoiding animal products.
