don’t beat yourself up over it. I once tried to eat tuna and then spat it out, it was worse though because I did it knowingly. I hated myself for ages. I figure that if you don’t know, it isn’t your fault

Don’t be afraid to ask if they’re serving anything that fits your dietary needs!

dont worry-we all do it! for years ive been eating marshmellows not realized they have gelatin in them, and same goe with chips ahoy (they have lard in them tho-not gelatin)

Only time it happened to me was in a chinese restaurant where a little bit of chicken was on my plate.

It’s happened to me as well, my mum made porgies and I ate about two before I noticed that they tasted odd- turns out it was pork (yuck!) and the other week, my mum brought me home some truffles to try (chocolate ones) I ate one and then decided to check the ingredients (she said they were milk free!!!) turns out they weren’t :p No sense in beating yourself up about it, it happens to all of us. Just remember how much good your doing for the animals

Don’t worry, that happens to everyone! A few months ago I ordered rice and beans in a restaurant. It tasted kinda weird so I decided to ask the chef. He said they had forgotten to make the beans without the little pices of pork. I was really grossed out and the guilt was killing me but at the end I just decided to forget about it because it was just an accident after all! We just have to accept that this things happen and learn something from our mistakes! Just don’t worry!

That has happened to me a few times.Don’t beat yourself up about that it was an accident it happens.Just be more careful next time.When I first started becoming a serious vegan my mom made beans and i didn’t taste any meat in them it was just really spicy so I thought she put chili peppers in it.So as I sat in front of her and my sister who knew I wasn’t eating animals anymore they didn’t tell me that there was chorizo (pork) in them thats why it was spicy.My sister decided to tell me a week later and I got mad but there was nothing I could do except always ask whats in food that somebody else cooks.

So last weekend I went to my boyfriend’s uncle’s engagement party. During this they had caterers, they were constantly serving some kind of meat, mini hot dogs, chicken salad, etc. I was so hungry I was look for anything meatless.. Finally i saw something good, it looked like a little roll with asparagus and beans. BUT when I bit into it, it wasn’t beans it was meat! I didn’t tasted any meat until i swallowed it! I asked the caterer to be sure it was meat, turns out it was chicken. I was so upset with myself for the rest of the day, I could stop thinking about the defenseless chicken.

I decided to share this to get some comfort from my peta friends and ask anyone else for their accidental meat eating stories, I’m curious to hear them!
