Dear Dr. Shulman,
To clarify I would like to ask how I can apply this practically. I'm not sure what you mean by less than 50% chance, for example when buying food, should I able to identify all animal based derivatives listed in the ingredients? Therefore all E numbers such as gelatine which is written as E441, or animal derived amino acids such as albumin. I would feel that this information would make the likelihood of it having been removed from the limb of a living animal quite possible, ( ie 50% or more) as the mainstream suppliers do not use halal or kosher slaughterhouses.
Thanks very much,
Shanti
