Is Aspergillus/Hydrolyzed Collagen Ferment Filtrate vegetarian?

Aspergillus/Hydrolyzed Collagen Ferment Filtrate is a filtrate obtained by fermenting hydrolyzed collagen with the microorganism Aspergillus. Collagen is typically derived from animal sources (e.g. bovine, porcine, marine), making the origin of this ingredient animal-derived, though the specific source may vary and not always require slaughter (e.g. fish by-products).

An ingredient is considered vegetarian if it avoids components derived from killing an animal.
