Guest guest Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Here are some things we've discovered... -beef flavoring in McDonald's french fries -chicken flavoring in Burger King's french fries -lard used in refried beans at Mexican places -chicken stock used in rice at Mexican places and Tumbleweed Restaurants -gelatin in many kinds of candy -cholicalciferol vs. ergocalciferol (sp?). Those are D vitamins in products. " Choli " is from animal - just remember " cholesterol " to help you remember which is which. -whey and casein are animal products (most of you know this already) -At work, someone left a big container of various sugary cookies to share with employees. People were eating them like crazy and made fun of me, " the label reader " , because I was checking the ingredients. Completely gross...an ingredient was " beef fat " - probably the shortening I'm guessing. -At Chili's Restaurants, the balsamic vinaigrette contains anchovies and the seasoning for the steamed broccoli contains butter. I ate both one night and threw up all night long. I found out after emailing Chili's what each product contained. If I eat a salad at restaurants, I always ask for oil and vinegar for dressing just to be safe. Also, some Italian dressings contain cheese. -Also always ask about veggies/beans being cooked with animal fat or beef in the pot. Cracker Barrel has this listed at the bottom of their menu. I think that's all for now. If I think of anything else, I'll add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Baked barbeque Lays potato chips contain chicken fat. I got sooooo grossed out when I read the ingredients! I don't think I've ever actually eaten them, thank goodness! Most soups at restaurants are made with beef or chicken broth... A small amount of olive oil and lemon wedges and salt and pepper make a great salad dressing at a restaurant! Chipotle pinto beans contain bacon. The black beans are delish and vegan!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Show me where you got the BK fries thing. Our veg-friendly fast food places that we frequent are Burger King, Taco Bell and Subway. BK - was endorsed by many veg groups when their veggie burger was vegan. Now that it is vegetarian - I don't hear any groups promoting it anymore. But according to their website all the fries ingredients look vegetarian to me. And there is no mention of chicken fat in the fries in the ingredient list. And BK also says that they have a " French Fry Only " fryer that fries are always cooked separately in. It seems like BK does a good job accomodating vegetarians -- vegans not so much-- but they have mac/cheese, french fries, apple fries, veggie burger, side salad that are all lacto-ovo vegetarian friendly. http://www.bk.com/#menu=3,3,-1 Renee ________________________________ iluvk5 <skerns Wednesday, April 8, 2009 8:26:31 AM hidden animal products Here are some things we've discovered.. . -beef flavoring in McDonald's french fries -chicken flavoring in Burger King's french fries -lard used in refried beans at Mexican places -chicken stock used in rice at Mexican places and Tumbleweed Restaurants -gelatin in many kinds of candy -cholicalciferol vs. ergocalciferol (sp?).

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I thought this was interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy#Candy_and_vegetarianism Also, marshmallows (it's Easter and the Peeps are everywhere and they are not vegetarian)!
