As a food science expert with a focus on ingredient analysis, I can provide information on whether Twizzlers are vegetarian or not.

Twizzlers are a type of candy that is often associated with being vegetarian because they are made from sugar and other sweet ingredients. However, the key to determining if they are truly vegetarian lies in the specific ingredients used and the manufacturing process.

The primary ingredient in Twizzlers is sugar, which is vegetarian. However, there are concerns about the use of certain additives, such as gelatin, which is derived from animal collagen and is therefore not vegetarian. Gelatin is sometimes used in the production of gummy candies to provide a specific texture.

To determine if Twizzlers are vegetarian, we need to look at the specific formulation used by the manufacturer. The Hershey Company, which produces Twizzlers, has indicated that their standard Twizzlers are made without gelatin, making them suitable for vegetarians. However, it's always a good idea to check the ingredient list on the packaging to ensure there are no animal-derived ingredients, as formulations can change over time or vary by region.
