15 Foods Vegetarians And Vegans Often Think Are Fine To Eat (But Actually Aren't)

As apescatarian(I do eat fish) for more than six years now, I've learned this firsthand.

如今，您可以在大多数快餐连锁店购买蔬菜汉堡，但是一些炸薯条仍然是使用动物成分制成的。向麦当劳的薯条酥脆的令人惊奇的薯条打个招呼（也许再见），可悲的是“natural beef flavor”- 或者，正如PETA所说的那样，“牛肉牛。”

好消息？汉堡王的薯条是素食主义者，Wendy’s。

爱Parm? Yeah, me, too. But unfortunately,大多数帕玛森奶酪(in addition to Gruyère, Gorgonzola, Pecorino Romano, and manchego) use rennet to coagulate the milk. And what is rennet, you ask? Well,it’s an enzyme从山羊或小牛的肚子的衬里中取出。

这些奶酪可以是，有时是在没有Rennet的情况下制成的，但我建议您仔细阅读您的标签。

每隔一段时间，一个流行阵容就碰到了现场 - 但是，如果您是素食主义者，则必须避免磨砂的品种。那是因为糖霜是made using gelatin，一种由boiling animal skin, tendons, ligaments, and/or bones.

At a glance, you might be drawn to the fact that this cereal has more whole grains and fiber than many others on the shelves. But all that doesn’t make up for the fact that the frosting on the little pillows of goodness ismade using gelatin。

许多素食主义者依靠豆类作为每日蛋白质的来源，但可以说是豆科植物上最好的变化 - 豆豆 - 通常是使用猪油制成的（rendered pig fat). I personally stick toAmy’s beans，总是素食主义者。

This stuff is a lifesaver (we’re not all Martha Stewart types), but much of it isn’t vegetarian. Most brands —including Pillsbury— use lard to obtain that tender, flaky finish we all love. Next time you’re putting together a baked Brie, I recommend this stuff fromWewalka。

这很难，因为我们许多素食主义者和pescatarians都使用乳制品来获得良好的蛋白质。但是，有些（尽管不是全部）酸奶使用明胶使这些东西具有更好的质感。Yoplaitis an easy target (although certain products, including Yoplait Tubes, Source Greek, and Whole Milk yogurt, aren’t made with gelatin), but it isn’t the only offender. Even “fancy” brands likeNoosause a cow-derived gelatin.

Read the labels closely, or stick with plain Greek yogurt.

金色零食以其scarily long shelf lifeis made using “tallow,” a rendered form of牛肉或羊肉脂肪。If you just can’t imagine life without the little cakey fingers, seek out a truly vegetarian option — I recommend the卡茨品种(which are also gluten-free).

液体似乎不可能含有动物来源的产品，但是有些品牌可以。那是因为当要过滤或完善葡萄酒时，某些“罚款剂”被用来去除颗粒，酵母，蛋白质和多云。这些罚款剂通常包括“血液和骨髓，酪蛋白（牛奶蛋白），几丁质（来自甲壳类动物壳的纤维），鸡蛋蛋白（源自蛋白），鱼油，明胶（来自沸腾动物零件的蛋白质）和伊辛属（明胶）从鱼膀胱膜），”PETA。

好消息？网站Barnivore让您搜索公司，这样您就可以找到自己喜欢的葡萄酒不依赖骨髓作为过滤剂。

作为素食主义者，您可能会认为自己会通过将一汤匙蛋白质粉末滑入您的早晨冰沙中来做一个美好的世界，但是许多蛋白质粉，包括乳清蛋白，不是素食主义者。乳清蛋白通常包含bovine serum albumin— a protein derived from cows — and both whey and other protein powders often rely onL-cysteine, a dietary supplement often made from chicken feathers orhuman hair。

经过加工的百吉饼 - 就像您刚从邓肯拿起的百吉饼一样 - 通常是使用L-cysteine也是。氨基酸，自然在人体中发现（你好，头发），有时被用作“面包护发素”，以延长商业面包产品的保质期。

Arguably the most bizarre item on this list: It turns out that mostAltoids are not vegetarian friendly。这一切都是因为明胶(although one exception is their sugar-free smalls). I stick with gum!

Strange but true: Many regularwhite sugar brands use bone char(usually a derivative of cow bones) to make the sugar whiter. Your best bet may be to stick with a slightly less white素食糖instead.

Keep in mind that the ingredient list may instead say “natural carbon" — sneaky commercial-speak for the less appealing bone char.

我爱，爱，爱软糖糖果。但是，大多数品牌都依靠一剂明胶来获得我们所有人都喜欢的耐嚼稠度。而且不仅仅是软糖熊 - 棉花糖，星爆和糖果玉米也是罪魁祸首。

Vegetarians might want to stick with Airheads, Jujubes, and Swedish Fish — or opt for organic gummies like certain vegetarian-friendly candies made bySmartSweets和YumEarth(their take on Starbursts is amazing, IMO).
