May I know whether Combos Cheddar Cheese Cracker is vegetarian or not?

Question

I am a lacto-vegetarian who doesn't eat egg. May I know whether Combos Cheddar Cheese Cracker is vegetarian or not?

Answer 1

Pretzels are just flour water and shortening, and the cheese filling while not all real cheese is 60% real cheddar, and they use not animal product in them like lard or animal fats or meat, even the pepperoni ones are artificially flavoured, not meat either the same with the pizza one, I am a former chef and have seen the show on the Food Network "UnWrapped", they toured the factory in New Jersey were they are made and the gentleman said they are made with no meat product, and some are labelled as "Pareve" which is a kosher seal for the Jewish population. Plus animal fats or meat in product like that would first need refrigeration and would spoil quicker as they breakdown quicker and would go rancid.
