Can "VEGANS" drink pop?!
Can "VEGANS" drink pop?
I'm going vegan, and what I know says nothing about having pop or not.
Answers:
I'm not even sure they're vegetarian in many cases! If they list sugar as an ingredient you'd need to be concerned with bone char being used to filter the sugar.
Fruit flavored ones may contain unlisted glycerin as part of the flavoring per FDA regulations.
Cola's are allowed to have (among other things) musk oil, civet oil, pepsin and other animal based enzymes and/or flavorings as part of legally unlisted natural flavorings per FDA regulations. Be warned that those same rules legally allow makers to 'lie' about the "trade secret" ingredients!
What you have to ask the manufacturer is "Does your product contain any animal ingredients, or any ingredients processed with animal products, or any ingredients that originally derived from an animal source and/or are any products originally from an animal source used in the manufacture of your product?".
I've NEVER had a major soda producer give a straight yes/no answer to that question! This is the question you ask ANY food producing company if you want an answer will hold up in court. The last soda company that gave me a straight answer of no to that question was the original producer of "Ginseng Rush" back in the '70s.
IMHO soda can't be trusted! If you'd like a shock try asking that question to juice companies

no
yes pop is okay but be careful with some beers. They may use a colouring containing animal or insect blood.
Of course you can drink pops!
be careful and check the labels. many are no problem at all.
pop is syrup and food colouring, no protean so yes you can drink it.
I think it depends on the soda, you would have to check the ingredients but I think that most sodas should be fine.
I don't see why not.
Wow, I hope so. I'm an addict.
The only ingredients I usually see are syrups, colorings, sugar, and water.
But you can never be too careful. Always read the labels, that's a big big rule. They will find almost anything to throw some animal bi-products into.
Yes, coca-cola and anything like that is veggie and vegan.
I have NEVER seen anything resembling animal product in pop. Its the milky ones you gotta watch out for - even the ones that aren't milk, because then there are thickeners and all sorts.
Yes they can, there are organic restaurants or cafes that serve pop but the ingredients are all natural.
Hoped that helped!
Every brand is different. You have to read the label.
