Is sr-(Methionyl sh-Oligopeptide-75 sh-Polypeptide-11 Hexapeptide-40) vegetarian?

This is a single-chain recombinant peptide produced by fermentation in E. coli, synthesized from genes encoding sh-Oligopeptide-75, sh-Polypeptide-11, and Hexapeptide-40 fused with a methionine initiation codon. The resulting 162-amino-acid peptide may contain disulfide bonds and/or glycosylation.

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