Is Worcestershire Sauce Vegan?
2min read
This fermented sauce that’s somewhere between a dressing and a liquid condiment has a bitter, tangy and highly distinguishable taste. But is it vegan?
We won’t surprise you by saying that the dark Worcestershire sauce gets its name from the UK’s West-Midland county. It’s at home in cocktails like the Bloody Mary and in the sauces of rich stews.
Worcestershire sauce
The fermented sauce is made up of malt and spirit vinegar, sugar and molasses, some salt, garlic and onions, tamarind, spices and anchovies.
Is Worcestershire sauce vegan?
Considering that there are anchovies used in the sauce, no, it isn’t vegan. However, due to the sauce’s popularity, a fish-free version is easy to come by for anyone on a plant-based diet, allergic to seafood or anyone who might not eat seafood for religious beliefs.
We love this bottle of vegan Worcestershire sauce from Geo Organics!
