Is Recombinant Peptide vegetarian?

A peptide produced through biotechnology by inserting a gene into a yeast or bacterial host organism, which then expresses and secretes the desired peptide sequence. This method allows production of peptides identical or similar to those found in humans or other organisms without any animal-derived material.

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