Maida, I understand, was in touch with Kraft to ask about a couple of the

ingredients that

could be from animals. My understanding (and I hope Maida is out there somewhere

and

will correct me if I am mistaken in my memory of it!) is as follows: Certo

ingredients may

indeed be vegetarian (although not vegan) some of the time, but Kraft says that

the

sources of these chemical ingredients vary. Sometimes, therefore, the

ingredients may be

'safe' for all but vegans, other times they may be unacceptable to vegetarians

as well.

 

My own reading suggests that both lactic acid (which does not always come from

milk) and

citric acid (which does not always come from fruits) would be doubtful at best.
