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)
