Guest guest Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 Is there really vegan ramen noodles?? Is all you need to do is throw out the seasoning package? Jo-Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 Well for some this may be ok, but for me I cant buy anything with animal products, its against my beliefs. My friend did make me a summer pasta salad with ramen noodles and it was so good, now I just need to find a way to buy them without any flavoring packet, any ideas?

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 I think so. I can't recall totally, but I think there are even vegan seasonings in a couple of them. If you type out the ingredients to the noodles, I can double check for you, but I think they are safe.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 on the ones i use, the noodle and seasoning ingredients are listed separately, and the noodles looked vegan to me. There is one brand (Ty Ling, i think), and they have one that's vegetarian, but i don't know if it'd pass the vegan test. ~cyd~ On Thu, 23 Aug 2001 08:44:20 EDT LamourDelaVie writes: > Is there really vegan ramen noodles??

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 OK, here's the noodle ingredients for my Maruchan ramen noodles: Enriched wheat flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate, ribolflavin, folic acid), partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (contains one or more of the following: canola, cottonseed palm), salt, soy sauce (water, wheat soybeans, salt), potassium carbonate, sodium phosphates, sodium carbonate, tumeric. hardly " health food " , but it looks vegan to me. Alan, can you confirm that? ~cyd~ On Thu, 23 Aug 2001 11:39:31 -0500 " Alan McClure " <amcclure writes: > I think so.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 Here is the deal. Potassium carbonate isn't listed. Sodium phosphates, are possibly animal derived. Sodium carbonate passes and is of mineral origin. Everything else is fine except all of the vitamins in the enriched wheat flour. They are all " probably vegan " according to the manual except for folic acid which is labeled " May not be vegetarian " and is either made from animal or fungus. One of the largest producers of it Schiff Products, Inc., states that they use either liver, or yeast in its production. Oh well.

If your local health food store doesn't have the vegan ones around, they can definately order them for you in most cases.

They usually have them wherever they keep the fresh tofu, and some other goodies alone with them like soy yogurts. Read your labels carefully to avoid egg noodles, and plan on tossing the sauce if it's included so you can make your own miso based version (a large tbsp of miso and water to make a broth will do). Add a few veggies like bok choy, diced carrots, snow peas, whatever is available, and you get a nice gentle and nourishing soup.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 vitamins are a big problem. In other words, they use the cheapest form of the vitamin in most of them and many times the cheapest is animal remains from slaughter or sometimes animals killed specifically for the vitamin. However there are some very affordable vegan vitamins online, that I just bought. They are on sale too last I checked. Go to http://www.veganstore.com Otherwise known as Pangea. They are very professional and quick too. Also another site I shop at is http://www.veganessentials.com Both companies are great. One company that says it is suitable for vegetarians, but actually isn't is Solgar, so don't be fooled. I really would check out Pangea for the sale.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 Oh, I didn't see this post when I mentioned what I did about solgar. Anyway, about a month ago in a google vegan newsgroup they were talking about how solgar was not vegan. Anyway, since I read that you said it was, I went to check up on this and ran accross the exact post. It says that solgar is not vegan for ethical reasons, but doesn't mention that it actually has animal products in it. So, let it be known that I am hereby correcting myself. Solgar is only not vegan as far as I know if you are vegan for ethical reasons. Here is the site with the info. http://www.truthaboutsolgar.org/frameset.html Thanks, Alan - " Laurie Mandigo-Stoba & Ian Stoba " <laurie Thursday, August 23, 2001 8:05 PM Re: ramen noodles > >no kidding ~ folic acid may come from animal sources? one of the things > >this woman of childbearing age needs to make sure she gets! why have i > >never thought to research where the ingredients in my vitamins (and my > >prescriptions, for that matter) come from?? > > > >frustrated, > > > >~cyd~ > > > Solgar makes a lot of vegan friendly vitamins.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 An Asian grocery store should have ramen noodles without seasoning. Also, the hfs sells vegan ramen with broth, iirc. I'm PRETTY sure the ones I used to eat in school were vegan. Sandra, who doesn't eat them anymore, or I'd check my closet... sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too bad when good companies get bought out by conglomerates. However, they still sell many good products. For instance they're one of the few companies who use vegicaps, and the only place I've found to buy Evening Primrose oil capsules not contained in gelatin. The vegicaps are great, and their labeling is clear. Regards, Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
