How Can You Tell If A Food Is Accidentally Vegan?
The only way to tell if a food is accidentally vegan is to check the ingredients to make sure there are no animal products. There are extensive lists online of accidentally vegan products but as ingredients and recipes can change it is important to check the ingredients too. A good thing to look out for is suitable for vegans on the packet but not all accidentally vegan foods will state this. Sometimes they might say suitable for vegetarians which doesn’t mean it will be accidentally vegan too but it does eliminate the presence of some ingredients so you can then only check the ingredients for dairy, egg or any remaining animal products.
What Is The Difference Between Vegan And Accidentally Vegan?
Vegan products are made specifically to a vegan recipe for vegans and are marketed that way. Some examples of these are Candy Kittens sweets, NOMO chocolate, Beyond Meat and Alpro dairy free products like oat milk and soya yoghurts. Accidentally vegan products are foods that do not contain animal products but is not made specifically for vegans or marketed to vegans.
