It's definite interest to me as I eat a ton of crisps a day - and funnily enough I just posted to one of the other vegan groups asking about other flavours. I wish someone would make more vegan flavours as I get really bored with eating ready salted all the time. I think we should all write to Walkers and request they get rid of the whey powder and do more flavours that us vegans can eat. <3 Shari Black Velvet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Hi, Sainsburys do 'free from' six-pack bag of cheese and onion, prawn and cocktail, and salt and vinegar crisps. I'm fairly sure it is vegan. And Tescos' thick barbeque crisps are allegedly vegan, though I haven't brought any for a while.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 there's a lot more crisps out there with whey in them ... all the Sensations crisps .. but the amount of Monosodium Glutamate in crisps altogether should put people off eating them ... it's the seasoning ... it's the flavouring of beef and prawns and even salt and vinegar?... they seem to spoon it into everything... , mavreela <ndisc@m...> wrote: > Just an FYI, but I noticed today that the Walkers Beef & Onion crisps > in the new packaging now contain whey powder so are no longer vegan.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Besides which free from dairy does not and never has meant free from eggs, free from diary means just that and eggs are not a dairy product Lesley zorgster [oliver]29 January 2004 11:33 Subject: Re: No more Beefyup ... but the Free From range as a whole is not Free From Dairy ... only Free From certain things which are named on the packaging... , "John Davis" <mcxg46@d...> wrote:> Hi,> > Surely 'free from dairy' means free from eggs, cheese and whey?> > Says he hopefully...> > John~~ info ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Please remember that the above is only the opinion of the author, there may be another side to the story you have not heard.---------------------------Was this message Off Topic?

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Very true - and Sainsburys are getting better at labelling things " suitable for vegetarians and vegans " in addition to the label " suitable for vegetarians " . I think it was zorgster who once mentioned Sainburys has a policy of adding the " and vegans " bit when they update packaging on vegans products. Seems to be the case and I think other supermarkets do this too - asda, co-op, maybe tescos...

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 The Free From range is mainly allergy-focused, but I remember having the cheese and onion crisps a couple years or so ago, and they were vegan then. I wouldn't have thought they'd've changed it. But yeah, you do have to watch out as Free From doesn't always mean vegan, they might have eggs in, or just be free from gluten or something. But well done Sainsbury's! , " zorgster " <oliver@l...> wrote: > The Free From range is not necessarily vegan ... it is free from > whatever it claims to be free from on the packet... > > free from wheat ... free from wheat dairy eggs ... free from ... etc.. > > i can't imagine Cheese and Onion flavour being free from Cheese > powder or milk proteins... ??

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Hi, I've taken a look at the ingredients list of the free-from crisps, and they don't list any animal products. Mind you, they do resort to the catch-all 'flavourings' ingredient, so who knows what that covers...

Mind you, they do resort to the catch-all > 'flavourings' ingredient, so who knows what that covers... And sometimes, it is in the manufacturing process. If I remember correctly, some Linda McCartney things seem 100% vegan from the ingredients but were put through some process that included animal by- products. As these by-products weren't in the final sausage (or whatever), they didn't need to be listed on the box... I *think* someone on this list found that out but I can't be certain about my source... I've stopped recomending Linda McCartney stuff as something people I visit can get in for me to eat... I've just gone off the stuff completely.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Hi, I'm in two minds about products that are put through a process using animal products. Most sugar springs to mind...Granted, ideally I wouldn't eat that kind of product, but taken one step further, most veg is grown using fertiliser with animal products in. One step further, and all soil has dead animal matter in it... Increasingly, I'm of the opinion that veganism is an ideal, not a state you can ever actually achieve. So whilst I'll avoid products whose process uses animal products if I can, I've stopped feeling that guilty if I eat some by accident or out of ignorance.

I think along similar lines myself - if it was an accident or a mistake, rather than feeling guilty, I try to learn from it. To be truely 100% vegan, would we have to sleep with nets over our mouths to stop house spiders getting themselves swallowed? ;-) The other reason I stopped getting the Linda McC sausages is because they aren't even that nice so I don't miss them. As for sugar, that question was asked about a year ago, I think, and someone found out that sugar in the UK was vegan. Once again, I can't remember who or when exactly. BTW, thanks to Ian for confirming details about the Linda McC sausages! Siofra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
