Here are 10 articles that might surprise you to learn that they are vegan:

1. Marmit

The entire Marmite range is vegan and certified by the European Vegetarian Union (EVU), with the exception of the 70g jar.

The 70g jar is currently vegetarian-only, though Marmite is on its way to EVU vegan approval.

It is made primarily of yeast, and although it is not a plant, it is not an animal either. Thus, without the addition of other ingredients of animal origin.

2. Hobnobs de McVitie

All Hobnobs are vegan, including most private label oatmeal cookies.

However, chocolate chip cookies are usually not vegan, even though McVitie’s Choc Chips are surprisingly vegan.

They used soy lecithin, cocoa mass, and low-fat cocoa powder, but not milk or milk protein.

3. Oreos

The makers of Oreos state on their website that they cannot classify this popular cake as vegan because of the potential for cross-contact with dairy products.

However, Oreo cookies contain no animal-derived ingredients and are safe for vegans.

4. Guiness

Since 2015, Guinness has been 100% vegan.

Brewers, Diageo changed the filtration process so that it no longer includes fishtail (a kind of gelatin obtained from fish).

5. Star Blast

Many Stabursts around the world contain gelatin, made from animal collagen, but UK-made Starbursts do not.

Vegans should make sure to eat UK Starburst as many shops sell a surprisingly large number of British sweets containing animal products.

6. Bread

While this may seem obvious to some, many of us would be surprised to learn that most store-bought breads are vegan.

The classic British snack is dairy-free, contrary to popular belief.

7. Cream cake

One of the most surprising revelations is that these cream and butter cookies are actually dairy-free.

The word ‘cream’ comes from the manufacturing process, which is why this cake is completely vegan friendly.

8. Ice cream

In recent years, many vegan ice cream brands have appeared in supermarket refrigerators; in fact, they are so good that it is hard to tell them apart.

Includes Chunky Monkey, Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Cookie Dough from Ben and Jerry’s, and Swedish Glace from Walls.

9. Cream of lotus cake

Not only is Lotus Biscoff cake vegan, their Biscoff spread is also vegan and makes delicious vegan cheesecakes.

10. Pasta

Most dry pastas are not made with eggs, but are made with durum wheat and semolina, so they are good for vegans.

However, fresh pasta generally contains eggs, so if you don’t eat foods containing animal products, be sure to check the packaging of fresh pasta.
