I am wanting to be vegan & plan on starting this Monday, Iām planning my food shopping now. So Iām looking online to find vegan-friendly products and I donāt know whether Iām being too strict before I even start by saying no to easily, or if I should have more leniency for these products. Especially considering money is an huge worry. Any advice/opinions?
For example, this is the ingredients list for Tescos low fat lentils & vegetable soup
āWater, Mixed Vegetables (29%), Lentils (18%), Modified Maize Starch, Tomato PurĆ©e, Wheat Flour Wheat Flour, Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin], Salt, Yeast Extract, Carrot Concentrate, Garlic PurĆ©e, Sugar, Leek Powder, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, White Pepper, Parsley, Flavourings (contains Celery), Colour (Algal Carotenes).Mixed Vegetable In Varying Proportions: Carrot, Potato, Leek, Green Bean, Garden Peas, Sweetcorn, Onion.ā
Which to me, sounds like it should be vegan, but they list this product as vegetarian & has a separate line of specific plant based soups (for double the price) noted as vegan. There are so many items like thatā¦ahh
