Are Ritz crackers vegan?!


Question: Are Ritz crackers vegan!?
I looked at the ingredients and it listed 'Calcium Phosphate'!. I've heard that it comes from the eath, but I've also heard that the use bones for it!.

So, which one is it!? Are Ritz safe to eat!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
BEWARE, there are a lot of wrong and imprecise answers here!.
First of all, unless the ingredients list is lying, there is not cheese in Ritz crackers!. I have no idea where he came up with that!.
The calcium phosphate issue is your only problem!. MOST calcium phosphate in food comes from non-animal sources, but not always!. Calcium caseinate and calcium stearate come from animals!. So, if your ingredient list is true, Ritz are most likely vegan!. There is just a small percentage chance that the calcium phosphate comes from ground up teeth or bones!.
Be careful with the Ritz though--they are really bad for you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Don't those contain butter!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

They are not vegan because they contain small amounts of cheese!. Cheese is dairy, which means it comes from a cow!. So therefore its not considered veganWww@FoodAQ@Com

Calcium is a derivative of dairy products and helps build structure to bones,it wouldn't contain bones just dairy cultures!. so yes Ritz should be safeWww@FoodAQ@Com

Oh!.!.!. so close

The calcium phosphate is derived from teeth!.!.!.

Ritz wheat crackers are vegan though!.!.!. try them :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

oh yes, the wheat ones are so vegan!! they are delicious, try those!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Probably not because they actually have some taste!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
