animal or not...? more....

[Guest guest]

I forgot to add that most rice in restaurants and prepackaged items will have a

meat stock in them. Also fettuccini, varies from restaurant to restaurant as to

whether they put chicken stock in it or not. Olive Garden's fettuccini is safe

for the lacto ova vegetarian to enjoy.

 

Worcestershire sauce(unless you buy a vegetarian one) and Caesars' salad

dressing's have anchovies in them.

 

Marshmallows have gelatin in them as well as Jello. Hunts and Kool-aid Gels

are vegetarian though and have no gelatin in them. They are made with fruit

juice, taste delicious and stay gelled at room temp.

Be very careful when you see Natural flavoring on an ingredient list, as most

time it is a hidden meat flavoring.

 

 

Ok I just found this site where you'll find a comrehensive list.

Re: animal or not...?

 

 

Read those labels and ask questions when eating places beside home. And don't

be afraid to ask them to go and look on the package of something that is served

at a restaurant or ask the cheif.

 

Most common things to watch out for are meat broths or meat flavoring in dips,

soups, and cooked vegetables. Gelatin is probably one of the most frequently

used meat product found commonly in many products that you would never guess.

That would include but by far not limited to most store bought dips, most

yogurts, some sour creams, coated cereals(like frosted mini wheats, etc), some

margarines, many candies, altoids, over the counter gel capsule medication and

vitamins.

 

Fried foods may be cooked in the same oil that meat products are also fried in

or may lard and not vegetable oil. Most store bought pie crusts have lard in

them. Frozen friench fries will often have beef fat or lard in them. McDonalds

fries have beef fat in french fry itself, even though though they are cooked in

vegetable oil. This was big in the news a while back. Many vegetarians thought

their french fries would be a safe option there.

 

Refried beans, especially in most mexican restaurants will have lard in them.

Most all beans in any restaurant will have meat cooked in it, especially in the

south U.S. A. Taco Bell beans are ok.

 

Read, read, read labels. I love Vanilla Yogurt and the only two brands that I

find it without Gelatin is the Dannon in the large qt. size container and

Stoneyfield. Well last week I happened to pick up a Winn Dixie store brand of

Vanilla Yogurt and I couldn't believe it. Sometime in the last 6 months, the

large Winn Dixie brand of Vanilla Yogurt stopped putting in the gelatin. I was

so happy for this change and the store brand was a lot cheaper.

 

Anyway this is what I remembered at the moment.
