Papa Johns new wheat crust vegan?

Question

Is it? I researched but couldn't find anything.

Answer 1

According to Papa John's Nutritional Menu/F.A.Qs/Allergen's page @ http://www.papajohns.com/menu/faqs.htm

It says:

"Do your products contain eggs?

Eggs are present in our garlic ranch sauce, Wings and the breading on our Chickenstrips. The following Dipping Sauces also contain eggs: Honey Mustard, Cheese, Ranch, Blue Cheese.

Do your menu items contain milk or milk products?

The following items used at Papa John’s contain milk or milk products: thin crust, cheese, garlic ranch sauce, Alfredo sauce, spinach Alfredo sauce, garlic Parmesan sauce, crisp topping used on Sweetreats, Parmesan cheese packet, and our Blue Cheese, Ranch and Cheese Dipping Sauces.

Does your pizza crust contain soy?

NO. Only soybean oil.

Are there animal fats in your dough or sauce?

No. Our dough contains soybean oil, and our pizza sauce contains a blend of either sunflower or canola oil with extra virgin olive oil.

Do any of your products contain animal-derived enzymes?

A majority of our products contain biosynthesized and/or vegetable-derived enzymes. However, our pan crust and the cheese blend used on our Tuscan Six Cheese pizza contain animal-derived enzymes. Our pizza dough contains fungal or bacterial derivatives. Our garlic sauce contains lactic acid, which is not classified as an animal derivative because it has been fermented.

Does your garlic sauce contain animal derivatives?

NO. Our garlic sauce contains lactic acid, but this is not classified as an animal derivative because it has been fermented."

Unless this hasn't been updated since this new crust, I would be inclined to say it is ok! I would also like to think they would have had this updated at the same time because of potential lawsuits with allergens.
