Most curious. Here's what I got from their corporate office in February 2006: <blockquote>Dear Rusty, Thank you for contacting us. The L-cysteine is a nonessential amino acid that functions as a nutrient and dietary supplement. It prevents oxygen from destroying vitamin C in foods and it used in the dough to reduce mixing time.

I am wondering what is correct. Here is what they wrote: Here is the response from our nutrition department: The mono and diglycerides are vegetable sourced. The L-cysteine is currently animal sourced, but we are working on finding another source for the L-cysteine in the future. Hope this informaiton helps.
