What Crisps Aren’t Suitable For Vegans?
4min read
If you’ve recently made the transition to plant-based and you’re wondering which of your old favourite crisps aren’t suitable in your new vegan diet, keep reading!
Why aren’t all crisps vegan-friendly?
It might seem like something as simple as crisps should be suitable for vegans, but this isn’t always the case.
Many packets contain animal-derived flavourings that aren’t suitable for vegans, or other ingredients like whey or milk-derived flavourings. If you’re checking the ingredients labels then there are a few E numbers that you should avoid too – 120, 441, 542, 901, 904, 913, 966 and 1105 as they’re all derived from animals.
Non-vegan crisps
- Frazzles
- Walkers – Cheese & Onion, BBQ Pulled Pork, Beef & Onion, Tomato Ketchup, Smoky Bacon, Spicy Sriracha
- Quavers
- Pringles – Sour Cream & Onion, Cheesy Cheese, Prawn Cocktail
- Sunbites – Sour Cream & Cracked Black Pepper
- Doritos – Tangy Cheese
- Monster Munch
- Sensations – Thai Sweet Chili, Roast Chicken & Thyme, Mango & Red Chilli Chutney Poppadoms
- Pom Bears – Cheese & Onion
These are just a selection of the most popular crisps that aren’t suitable for vegans, but it’s important to closely read the ingredients labels if in doubt!
