Guest guest Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Are mono and di-glycerides ALWAYS aninmal derived? I've seen some whole wheat bread and these ingredients are the only ones that seem questionable. It is certified kosher by the Orthodox Union and is pareve, which (according to the orthodox) should mean no cow or chicken. Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 Hi Sara, I am not always sure myself. Sometimes I read tha ingredients of a product, I don't find anything non vegan and after the list of the ingredients I read: This product contains (milk, for example). You never can be very sure in the money society. And something else: The term "orthodox" is used for the Orthodox Jews, but for the Orthodox Christians as well. The two are off course not the same. I only could understand your text because you have used the word kosher, that is used by the Jews. I would be very thankful if you write more exantly what you mean, either Orthodox Jews or Orthodox Christians.This is more important for me as myself I am an Orthodox Christian. Thank youYannis Sara <chrisandsara wrote: Are mono and di-glycerides ALWAYS aninmal derived? I've seen some whole wheat bread and these ingredients are the only ones that seem questionable.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 I think that bread is a difficult product to check whether it is vegan. In the fresh bakery you can ask the baker.If you are buying packaged bread, the ingredient list can be confusing. So I consult a vegan list before I buy. Many companies publish a vegan list which you can obtain. Sometimes they make it easy for you and write it on the packet- Suitable for Vegans. Thee is enough bread out there to pick and choose, in my opinion. , " Sara " <chrisandsara@c...> wrote: > Are mono and di-glycerides ALWAYS aninmal derived?

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 I apologize Yannis. I am from a small deep south town and when I say Orthodox Christian, people look at me funny. You should see them when my husband tells them he was baptized in the Hungarian Orthodox church! Anyway, I apololgize for not being more precise.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 imo all those processed white breads aren't exactly the best fer ya anyways... __________ I agree. That stuff is crap. It was invented in WWII so the troops could have bread that wouldn't mold. " If it can't spoil don't eat it " is my motto. I generally stick to Ezekial sprouted breads, but hubby doesn't like that kind so I buy Arnold 100% whole wheat. Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
