Is Amylose vegetarian?

Amylose is a polysaccharide made of α-D-glucose units bonded through α(1→4) glycosidic bonds. Together with amylopectin, it is one of the two main components of starch, typically derived from plant sources such as corn, wheat, potatoes, or rice.

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