Are Ramen Noodles vegan?

Question

I saw at the store they had the chile' and lime flavor noodles. Has anyone thoroughly researched the ingredients. The website was not giving me much info.

Answer 1

No, most arn't.

I just looked at Maruchan Ramen Oriental Noodle, oriental flavor, and it has beef and Lactose.

there are specifically vegan ramens though in the vegan sections.

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure the Oriental ones are vegetarian. I'll look around for you now.... I don't know if they are vegan. h/o

EDIT: Here you go:

Do you have any vegetarian products?

Our Top Ramen Oriental flavor contains no animal products.

So it sounds like it's vegan:) Be sure to get that exact kind, I think the Maruchan Ramen oriental flavor has beef extract.

BTW, it's probably produced in a factory with eggs, etc, (see label for warning), so if you're that picky, then beware:)

Answer 3

The noodles are usually vegan, but you need to watch out for the seasoning.  Alot of them have chicken or beef fat added for flavor!

Answer 4

Maruchan Oriental has animal products, however Top Ramen oriental does not.
