There are “juice” drinks that contain 0% fruit juice so I feel like this isn’t an impossibility. I often joke that shit like cheese wiz could not possibly have come from nature. Can anyone think of an example?
Dare i ask what’s actually in those? It’s corn starch like everything else, isn’t it.
I call these vegan by convenience foods.
There’s some chocolate chips so cheap as to not include any milk fats.
Oreos also come to mind for this (not all of them, check the ingredients).
Cheap margarine will often lack any milk fats as well, though it’s worth checking or using one meant for Kosher diets.
I mostly see these things happen with processed foods too cheaply made to include real milk or egg, far less often with anything meaty, though the chicken and beef stock I get from the Chinese grocer qualify for that.
YumYum instant noodles beef flavour, duck flavour and chicken flavour are vegan; vegetable flavour and curry flavour aren’t lol
in some asian markets ive seen instant ramen labelled artificial chicken, artificial beef. maybe its vegan?
I’m fairly certain its not generally vegan yet, but most “crab” in (cheap) sushi is most definitely not crab. I think it still has some fish in it, but it’s teetering out there on the edge.
There are quiet a few “buttery” things, like Ritz crackers, Pillsbury crescent rolls / flaky layers, and most movie theater “butter” popcorn that are vegan.
