safeway donuts here certainly are NOT vegan...

preservatives, and artificial wotzits...

This is probably old news, but Co-op label appropariate products as

" suitable for vegetarians and vegans " . No messing around with vegan

product lists, no looking through ingredient lists trying to figure what

is being hidden under some obscure wording, just clear succinct labelling

which is there in black and white. They also labels the approriate non

food items as having " no animal ingredients " .

 

Last but by no means least, they use a vegaetable derived glazing agent on

fresh fruit and veg. They do not use shellac, so the fresh fruit and veg

is vegan also (unlike Tesco who are shellac users).

 

Regards,

Stevie.

Yeah, Co-Op's brilliant in that respect! It'd be bliss if they'd diversify

their range of foods for vegans, but I shouldn't be too greedy, I suppose.

I've written and telephoned both Tesco and Sainsbury's (though I don't think

that I'll be shopping at Stainsbury's anymore if the rumour that I heard is

true: they sell exotic meat) to ask them if they have plans to revamp their

labeling system to " suitable for vegans " . Sainsbury's said that they are in the

process of it, but Tesco only offered to send their list of vegan products.

Sigh...
