Is sr-Chicken Polypeptide-1 vegetarian?

sr-Chicken Polypeptide-1 is a recombinant protein produced by fermentation using genetically modified E. coli, synthesized from a gene identical to that encoding chicken-derived Epidermal Growth Factor. Although modeled on an animal protein sequence, it is manufactured via microbial fermentation rather than extracted from animals.

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