I am assuming that if they do not consider it an ingredient that they do not have to declare it in their ingredients list. I used to rely on ingredient lists but from now on unless a processed product states "suitable for vegans" I am not going to use it.

It is not an ingredient however but a process aid that is used in the clarification stage . Although used in the process it is subsequently removed by centrifugation and is not present in the final product. .May I take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in Murphy's.RegardsmurphyTo send an email to - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I reside about 17 miles from the brewery in question which means that I am on the south coast of Ireland. Does anyone know of a beer that is vegan, not loaded with chimicals and available on this side of the pond. Tesco's cary a cloudy french beer that looks interesting so maybe I will email them and see what they have to say. I have been meaning to check up on the ingredients in their organic wholemeal bread for some time but have not got around to it. The bread that they bake in-srore does not seem to require an ingredients list. Not that it matters as I can no longer thrust the list. , fraggle <EBbrewpunx@e...> wrote: > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 in general..stay away from anything cask conditioned or marked *real ale* in the UK and emerald isle... isinglass is used as a traditional fining (almost unheard of on this side of the pond, except fer a few breweries who are trying to emulate english cask beer)... if you are unsure..always as the brewery..they are generally more then happy to talk about their beer many keg/draught/cask beers over there alas have gone back to putting isinglass back into the production of their products ugh and to think i once thought the Real Ale movement was a good thing any beer that is *bottle conditioned* or has yeast still in the bottle will NOT have isinglass we don't get a lotof irish beers over ehre in the colonies, so i'm not as up on em as say, well, almost every other beer in the freakin universe(i apologize....)..but i do know off the top of my head that the stuff from the Dublin brewery (maeve's, darcy's stout, etc) are all vegan heck...drink anything from the mainland of Europe...germans and belgians would have conniptions if you tried to add isinglass to their beer production and count yer blessings about 200 yrs ago er so, some englsih brewers would slaughter a pig over the fermentation vats so that the pig blood would coagulate and fine the beer um ew cheers fraggle Mary Minihane Apr 28, 2005 2:55 AM Re: Fw: Customer Feedback I reside about 17 miles from the brewery in question which means that I am on the south coast of Ireland.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Mary, Check out the online u.k.`s animal free shopper at @ http://www.animalfreeshopper.com/html/ It lists tumps of beer! I know, i`ve sampled lots of them! Not many Organic ones on there, and the ones that are , are not widely available I`m afraid. I would recomend Black Sheep Ale ( not organic, just nice) available just about every supermarket around. Another nice drink ( if you like cider ) is Westons Organic, again available in most supermarkets. And lastly lager ( if you must drink it ) - well Hieneken is reputedly vegan?! The Valley Vegan.......... Mary Minihane <minih wrote: I reside about 17 miles from the brewery in question which means that I am on the south coast of Ireland.
