If you still have food in your house that is not vegan, don’t waste it! Give it to someone else, or the local food bank. You are right! Almost everything does have traces of milk or eggs. I would not worry about that because chances are it doesn’t have any in it. They put that like cortnieeeee said, for super allergic people. GOOD QUESTION THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just like what has been said, that’s only there for allergy purposes; for example, if a peanut allergy is so severe just simple contact is fatal. as long as it’s ingredients are vegan (non dairy butter, egg substitute, raw sugar, non dairy cheese, etc etc) youre good

Yep! That’s ok. Like people have been saying, it’s just allergy information. It’s great that you asked the question though! When I first went vegan, I thought that it meant there were non-vegan ingredients, so I avoided foods that I could have been eating. It annoyed my family a lot because it made shopping for my groceries really hard. It took me a while to figure it out, but now that I have, my family has been much more accepting of my veganism.

Great place to shop and get to know vegan food companies…

If it contains no animal products it’s vegan.If it has that label it’s ok.

I ignore those warnings too, as @VeganCaramel, it’s not about purity and if my non-vegan friends can see me tucking into more foods then it advocates veganism even more

That’s okay because it’s way more of a hassle to care about that and for companies to make stuff without those ingredients. I worried about the same thing too, but I asked my vegan friend and that’s what she told me. So that’s why I stopped caring.

So it’s still vegan! OMG this cookie dough (warning: a bit pricy!) has no trace of animal products! http://www.eatpastry.com/html/index.php

Woohoo! Hey @EmilyMarieCase, check this out:

It’s just an allergy warning. Veganism is not about purity and you can be 99.9% sure there is no major trace of any animal ingredient in it if it’s not in the ingredients list.

There are some products which have vegan certification, and you can always opt for cooking/baking your own food instead of buying prepared foods.

Hey, I’m new to the Vegan world and LOVING it!!!! However, I find when I look at the ingredient content on almost everything I pick up, it says either made in a factory that produces eggs or may contain traces of milk or eggs… What I’d like to know is, is it still vegan or do I throw it out? Also, what are some good vegan foods to try that don’t have any traces of animal biproducts? Thanks everyone! -Emily
