Is PEG-200 Glyceryl Tallowate vegetarian?

PEG-200 Glyceryl Tallowate is the ester of glyceryl tallowate (derived from beef or mutton tallow) reacted with an average of 28 moles of ethylene oxide, used as an emulsifier. Because it is derived from animal tallow, it requires animal slaughter.

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