And 4 of these can be non-vegan too

If I can't see an ingredients list or talk to a chef who knows what veganism is then I just assume it's got animal products no matter what it is

I'm presuming both forms of chips can be non-vegan due to the potential of being cooked in animal fats, what's potentially wrong with the salad and/or beer?

Not only animal fats, I've seen chips that had milk listed as an ingredient. But yeah for fries it's mostly the possibility that there's animal fat involved.

Salads often have dressings with dairy ingredients, or just straight up have cheese thrown in

Alcohols are often processed with animal products, like isinglass (made of fish bladders) which is used in clarification. Mostly a concern in wine but I think it's used in (some?) beer too

Interesting to know.

Milk in chips has definitely thrown me for a loop because I can't think of any reason why that would be there.

the one that gets me is when there are milk products in spicy chips like...? doesn't milk denaturize capsaicin? you're making the chips less spicy by doing that, you absolute clowns

Some chips (at least in germany) contain sweet whey powder. It enhances the taste and is sadly often used in sweet paprika chips. I don't think, it will have too much effect on the spiciness

How many times have you seen sour cream or cheese flavored chips? Dairy is all over the snack industry sadly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I wasn't having an issue with dairy, just milk specifically. If my chips have cheese, i expect to see them labelled cheese, not milk.

Many of the flavors use powdered milk to achieve the desired tastes is all I was saying.

Let me introduce you to non-vegan bananas (tldr: if you want to be sure, buy organic bananas)

Be careful with the order of those.
