I've heard that there are " Krispy Kreme Pies " that are vegan, but I don't

know what they are and they're not on the website.

 

I found this, though:

 

 

From The Vegetarian Resource Group:

http://www.vrg.org/nutshell/faqgeneral.htm

 

 

*Is it true that Krispy Kreme donuts are vegan?! I've found that when I

ask food employees, sometimes they don't know or don't feel like checking

whether something contains animal products. How can I find out for sure?

 

 

This has recently come up around the VRG offices, and we looked at an

ingredient list. The donuts are not vegan, they contain eggs, whey, and a

few other non-vegan ingredients.

 

Unfortunately, one of our former staff members asked at a local store and

they assured her the donuts were completely vegan. She started on a little

donut binge before the ingredient listing was received. Unfortunately

store employees don't always have the correct information.

 

One of the best ways to find out is to be polite and ask. You might wish

to explain that you are vegan and vegetarian and what that means. If the

person is unable to answer your questions, perhaps ask to speak with

someone who might be better acquainted with the ingredients or ask for a

phone number for the company or management. Take the opportunity to

commend the restaurant for having vegan items, or perhaps encourage them

to make some changes to include more options for their vegetarian and

vegan clients. We have additional resources you can give or refer them to

if they are interested in learning more.
