A CLOSER LOOK
How to recognize it
Animal ingredient declared as turtle in a food formula. The species and whether whole-animal material, meat or shell is used depend on the formula.
In the kitchen
Used in some guilinggao mixtures; the turtle-containing powder here is boiled with water to make jelly.
Not vegetarian or vegan. A turtle declaration cannot be automatically mapped to turtle shell alone or to softshell turtle.
