[vallalargroups:3915] VeggieGlobal non-vegetarian food additive tables.

There are all kinds of foods and everyday items that aren't suitable for veg*ns ... and they usually catch you out when you least expect it.

Here's just some things to watch out for!

Foods A to Z
Use this table in conjunction with the VeggieGlobal non-vegetarian food additive tables. Remember that some additives with the same name can be either vegetarian or animal derived ... 
(Yes, it's a minefield of confusion! ... and all the more reason to vote for the NOVA Key)
