Guest guest Posted September 12, 2001 Report Share Posted September 12, 2001 Beans flavored with meat, meat broth or meat fat. Isn't there a complete list of nonveg ingredients online somewhere? Sandra, overwhelmed into brevity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2001 Report Share Posted September 12, 2001 Beans - I have discovered that people don't realize that Beans have meat in them unless they are Vegeterian Beans. Chicken and Beef Broth are commonly used to cook vegetables and rice. People just forget that the broth is not vegeterian. wrote: > Hi there. As per my agreement with my daycare provider, I'm trying to provide a list of what my daughter doesn't eat. This _seems_ like a no-brainer... she doesn't eat meat (and we're working on other animal products, but are not quite there yet.) However, in the spirit of cooperation, I'm trying to come up with a list of things that might contain meat that people may not think about.. Can anyone think of some common ones that I'm missing? Here's my list so far: soup with chicken or beef base; gravy with meat drippings or meat flavoring; casseroles with meat; spaghetti sauce flavored with meat; rice cooked in meat stock; gelatin; foods cooked in lard or animal fat; I can't even think of anything else people could mistake for " vegetarian " that actually isn't. Can you?? I know this seems like a " duh " question, but if these folks are willing to learn, I'm willing to teach them. Thanks, Carol (mom to Lucia, one month shy of the terrible twos -- yikes!)

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2001 Report Share Posted September 12, 2001 Don't forget refried beans! They seem innocent, but they're usually not!!! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2001 Report Share Posted September 13, 2001 Hey Carol, Make sure they know that twinkies contain beef fat. Other Hostess snacks probably do as well. _______________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2001 Report Share Posted September 13, 2001 There are many varieties of vegetarian refried beans out there - just read the label. vshaw1118 [vshaw1118] Wednesday, September 12, 2001 9:42 PM Re: Stuff masquerading as vegetarian food Don't forget refried beans!

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2001 Report Share Posted September 13, 2001 Dried soups, single serving dried noodles, and dried beans and rice mixes all can contain chicken or beef fat. Look for the International Vegetarian symbol on the box to easily identify dried food that is suitable for vegetarians. If more people would like to add to this list of items, I'm collecting all your suggestions and would be pleased to forward the completed list of items to everyone.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2001 Report Share Posted September 13, 2001 International symbol? The US doesn't use it... what does it look like? Sandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2001 Report Share Posted September 13, 2001 My mistake, I shouldn't have said 'international', although I believe these products are sold in the US as well. The vegetarian symbol is on food products sold under the 'President's Choice' label. It is a green mature tree surrounded by a purple banner that reads " Suitable for vegetarians " .

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2001 Report Share Posted September 13, 2001 .... but be careful not to generalize by using the word " all. " I just recently found a variety of Rice-a-Roni that's vegan! (can you imagine??!)

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2001 Report Share Posted September 14, 2001 A little shocking update. Twinkies are no longer made with beef fat, haven't been for about a year now. They still will never qualify as health food, I'm not sure the even really qualify as food, but there's no beef fat in them anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 14, 2001 Report Share Posted September 14, 2001 I guess the rule of the day is READ THE LABELS!!!!! And if you're unsure, call the companies. We spend a lot of time in the grocery stores reading labels and emailing companies. Such is life - but WELL WORTH IT!

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2001 Report Share Posted September 14, 2001 More non vegetarian foods: Frozen pie crusts and pies often use animal fat cheese whiz, processed cheeses, chees dips have fat or anchovies very often rice crispie snacks have gelatin gummy bears, twizzlers, some but not all fruit chewy snacks have gelatin Altoids used to have tallow, now they have gelatin Lots of other candies and snacks have gelatin and/or fat Talking to a person who worked at a factory which puts both vegetable and animal shortening into cans, I learned the workers are very sloppy about what actually goes into the cans; when they change from one packing operation to the other, they don't clean the machines, they just start putting in the other kind of shortening; sometimes it makes a mix in the cans, despite the label. Printing ink is made from bone black or ivory black, charcoalized bones, not elephant ivory. Newspapers, magazines, books are non-vegetarian and ubiquitous. Ink could be made from wood charcoal, but it usually isn't. -- Be kind. Be of good cheer. Dick Ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 14, 2001 Report Share Posted September 14, 2001 A lot of yogurt has gelatin in it. Be sure to point out " Jello, " even though you said no gelatin. Be sure to tell them that just because something is labeled " vegetable " , such as Campbell's Vegetable Soup, it can (and in this case, does), contain beef broth (or chicken) or whatever. Also, I once bought " Vegetarian Vegetable Bouillon " that had gelatin in it. I've noticed it no longer does. As an aside, I called Lipton and have a list of their noodle and rice dishes that are vegetarian. I called because I was afraid of what was hidden in the " natural flavorings. " I also called Knorr's about their new pasta dishes. They told me that they don't hide animal products under " natural flavorings " and that if their are animal products in it, they will be listed. BTW -- I got 3 or 4 coupons for free products from Lipton for just calling and asking a question. Also, don't know if they allow candy, but gummy bears contain gelatin.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2001 Report Share Posted September 15, 2001 I once bought digestive dietary supplements from Solgar stating " Suitable for Vegetarians " on the front. It contained ox bile - of all things! Check your vitamins and supplements. Also, things in capsules or gel caps are generally made from gelatin unless labeled vegi-cap.
