A halaal authority of Zambia says that not all processed jellies are haraam because not all such jellies contain gelatine.

Answer

Agar Agar is a seaweed, and it is halaal. If the jelly contains Agar Agar, not haraam gelatine, then provided it does not contain other haraam ingredients it will be halaal. In processed foods, there are ingredients besides gelatine which are haraam. Emulsifier and stabilizer could be of plant or animal origin. Colourants, essences and concentrates are alcoholic substances.

There is no way to establish with certitude whether commercial gelatine has been derived from only halaal animals. The word of organizations which certify kuffaar meat products should never be relied on. They are mercenary organizations who halaalize carrion. They are haraam 'authorities' who specialize in halaalizing haraam kuffaar meat products. Their objective is only money. Don't ruin your Imaan and don't destroy your akhlaaq (moral character) by ingesting haraam, carrion and mushtabah (doubtful) substances.
