You Mean, That is Vegan?

Here at petaDishoom, we’re all about showing you that veganism is easy, so we’re compiling a HUGE list of vegan grub that you can easily find in your local grocery store. You’ll be surprised at just how many of the things that you pass right over during your quest for vegan treats really are vegan.  

Note: Sometimes companies change a product’s ingredients. If you ever spot a non-vegan product on this list, let us know immediately by e-mailing us at dishoom@petaindia.org. As a precaution, check ingredients while you shop. For a list of animal ingredients, click here.

Note: Items listed may contain trace amounts of animal-derived ingredients. Although PETA supports a strict adherence to veganism, we put the task of vigorously reducing animal suffering ahead of personal purity. Boycotting products that are 99.9 per cent vegan sends manufacturers the message that there is no market for that particular food, which ends up hurting more animals.
