Only the gluten-free (4 pack) Village Bakery mince pies are vegan.

The standard Organic (6 pack) are not, unfortunately as they're made

with butter. As a mince pie fan, I've done an extensive search of

Sainsburys, Tescos, the Co-op and our local whole food store and have

come up with the following that are vegan (at least as far as I can

tell from the ingredient list):

 

Tescos mini mince pies

Sainsburys value mince pies

Sainsburys " Free From " mince pies

Village Bakery gluten-free mince pies

 

Of these, none are really that nice. The Tescos minis taste OK, but

are gone too quickly! The value pies are OK but very thin on the

filling and I find I get a not very pleasant aftertaste from the two

free-from brands. I'm mildly irritated because Tescos Organic mince

pies used to be vegan up until two years ago and were very tasty.

Then they went and added whey powder to them...

 

 

Other brands I've checked that are not vegan:

 

All other Tescos and Sainsburys own brands

All Co-op own brands

Mr Kipling (all types)

Village Bakery normal mince pies

 

Cheers,
