Are Chewy SweeTarts vegetarian?!


Question: I found these ingredients online in about 10 seconds:
INGREDIENTS: Dextrose, Corn Syrup, Hydrogenated Coconut Oil, Malic Acid and Less than 2% of Magnesium Stearate, Egg Albumen, Artificial Flavors, Xanthan Gum, Mono- and Diglycerides, Blue 1, Blue 1 Lake, Blue 2 Lake, Green 3, Red 3, Red 40 Lake, Yellow 5, Yellow 5 Lake, Yellow 6.

Unless the artificial falvors or colors contain animal byproducts, it seems pretty veggie.

Anything that isn't meat or fish is vegetarian, yes.

Vegetarian: Diet without meat or fish
Pescetarian: Diet without meat but eats fish
Vegan: Does not eat meat, fish, or any animal products (milk, eggs, etc...)

Chewy Sweetarts like many other products are left for Chemitarians.

If you're okay with eggs do you really think something like mono & diglycerides or magnesium stearate is that important?
