Everything I say can be fully substantiated by my own opinion.

The brine that a pickle cures in sometimes has polysorbates in it, an emulsifier made from animal fats.

In order for a pickle to be truly Kosher, the polysorbates cannot come from an unclean animal, such as a pig.

Many pickles sold as "Kosher" are actually Kosher-Style, and would not meet Kashrut standards.

Thanks to the two people who answered my question.  I had no idea there was a meat product in pickles.     Two more questions:

Can Jews eat mashed potatoes made with milk and butter?  I know they couldn't put gravy on the top if it's made of a meat product, right?  What do Jews put upon mash potatoes?

 

Do you know the reason the ancient Jews prohibited pork?  Do you think it was because of trichonosis?  Or other pig diseases? 

 

Thanks for your answers.
