Gelatin is considered Kosher by many Jews regardless of its source of origin. If the gelatin is prepared from non-zabiha, Muslims consider it haram (prohibited). Hence foods items such as marshmallows, yogurt, etc., showing kosher symbols are not always halal.

The statement reported on Soundvision.com is wrong. Orthodox Kosher certifying organizations never accept gelatin from pork as kosher. Also Marshmellow certified by orthodox kosher organization is Halal if flavor is not used because gelatin is not used. Instead of gelatin it contains Halal gums to provide the same effects of gelatin.
