I got some stuff that lists "Bonito Extract" as an ingredient. What's
Bonito extract? Is it an animal product?


Any answers will be greatly appreciated.

Yes--it's a fish derivative.

My dictionary states that Bonito is any mackerellike fish of the genus sarda.

Bonito is a fish (a kind of white fish, maybe?). I know it shows
up often in japanese packaged food (such as dried and canned
soups, etc.)
