Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 It does have chicken broth, so it's not vegan but it depends how you define " vegetarian " ...sometimes our family slides into the " no flesh " category for dishes like this. I figure that chx broth is no worse than milk or eggs if your not vegan. I am speaking dietary not ethics. I'm not sure if there is a veg version out there? Maybe in the health food store? It seems like there should be a veggie rice mix? Stephanie , steff davidson <steffdav46 wrote: > > Is Rice A Roni vegetarian?

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I deleted the recipe (and the posts that refer to/and contain the recipe). Rice a Roni contains chicken broth and fat and is definitely not vegetarian.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I don't believe that chicken broth could in any way be termed vegetarian. Chickens need to be killed and cooked in order to produce chicken broth. Here is the definition of a vegetarian from the Vegetarian Society: " Definitions A vegetarian is someone living on a diet of grains, pulses, nuts, seeds, vegetables and fruits with or without the use of dairy products and eggs. A vegetarian does not eat any meat, poultry, game, fish, shellfish or crustacea, or slaughter by-products. Types of Vegetarian Lacto-ovo-vegetarian. Eats both dairy products and eggs. This is the most common type of vegetarian diet. Lacto-vegetarian. Eats dairy products but not eggs. Vegan. Does not eat dairy products, eggs, or any other animal product. Stumbling Blocks Many foods contain ingredients derived from the slaughter of animals. Gelatine is made from animal ligaments, tendons, bones etc which have been boiled in water. It is often found in confectionery, low fat spreads and desserts, and other dairy products. The term animal fat refers to carcass fat and may be present in a wide range of foods, including biscuits, cakes, and margarines. Suet and lard are types of animal fats. Certain food additives (E numbers) may be derived from animal sources. Cheese is often made with rennet extracted from the stomach lining of slaughtered calves. Vegetarian cheese is made with rennet from a microbial source. The Vegetarian Society has an information sheet listing ingredients which may be unsuitable for vegetarians. Many vegetarians that eat eggs will eat only free-range eggs. This is due to moral objections to the battery farming of hens. The Vegetarian Society only endorses products containing eggs if the eggs are certified as free-range.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 You are welcome. There is a wealth of information and a lot of great recipes in that site too. The Vegetarian Society were a great strength to me back when I first became a vegetarian and I was the only vegetarian I knew.
