Answer 5

There's lots of really long lists you can find online if you want, but some of the most common ingredients are gelatin, rennet, milk, lactose (lactic acid is OK), eggs, egg whites, whey, casein, honey, confectioner's glaze, shellac, lanolin, beeswax, vitamin D3 (Vitamin D2 is OK, if it just says vitamin D, you should check with the company to see which one it is), and obviously anything involving meat (a lot of soups have a meat-based broth, so make sure to read the ingredients, even if it's a vegetable soup)

Answer 6

Well i'm not a vegan but i knew some1 who was and she loved mashed potatoes with gravy which she thought was completely a yummy vegan dish but it turns out that the gravy had like turkey or beef liquid in it so if u use gravy make sure it's completely vegan!
