Cheesecake factory puts beef gelatin in many of their cheesecakes. Here you’ll find the complete list of their cheesecakes that are made without gelatin!

 

Cheesecakes from the Cheesecake Factory are delicious. However, some of them contain gelatin, which is a problem ingredient for multiple groups of people. Gelatin is typically derived from the skin and bones of animals, so those who keep a vegetarian or vegan diet will not eat it. Similarly, some groups who follow Kosher or Halal laws will not eat these animal products either, unless it is from an approved source.

Therefore, I reached out to Whitney Dunn, of the Cheesecake Factory Headquarters, to find out the story on gelatin used in Cheesecake Factory Cheesecakes. It turns out that many of their cheesecakes do not contain gelatin, and out of the ones that do contain gelatin, some contain Halal-approved beef gelatin. Here is the list of cheesecakes that do NOT contain gelatin, followed by a list of those that contain Halal-approved gelatin.
