hi
well i know that Gibco sell "animal" medias...

i found their explanation about it :

QUOTE
Animal-Origin-Free Products —GIBCO® animal-origin-free products
do not contain material directly derived from animal tissues, cells,
or body fluids of higher eukaryotic organisms, such as mammals
(including humans), fish, birds, insects, etc. The term “animal-origin”
does not pertain to lower eukaryotic organisms such as the higher
plants, fungi, protozoa, and algae, nor does it include prokaryotic
organisms such as bacteria or blue-green algae.
