You just need to read ingredient labels!. Whole wheat bread frequently contains honey, which isn't vegan!. Other culprits in bread are whey, milk, butter, buttermilk, occasionally eggs, and mono- or diglycerides!. The latter are dough conditioners that may come from plant or animal sources!. The only way to know for sure would be to contact the manufacturer!. There are vegan breads available, though, if you read enough labels!. Ezekiel sprouted breads are often a good option!. Peanut butter should be just peanuts and maybe salt; some have added oils and sugar!. Again, read your labels, but I haven't run across any non-vegan peanut butters!.
You can actually get a book called Animal Ingredients A-Z (google it) for a comprehensive list!. And somewhere online is a list that can be downloaded to the notes section of an iPod, so that you have it handy when you shop!. As a vegetarian, you were likely already looking for many of the major culprits: gelatin, lard, beef fat or tallow, meat broths, and other slaughter by-products!. Now you'll want to look for whey, casein, lecithin (unless it's specified as soy,) and albumin as well!. The hardest part is that there are many ingredients that could come from plant or animal sources and there aren't any labeling requirements to say which!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Red dye #40 is not sourced from beetles, it comes from coal tar!.
The cheapo white bread at the supermarket is not vegan!.
Most artisan breads from independent bakeries are vegan and some of the chain supermarkets have vegan artisan breads as well!.
Common ingredients to look out for are L-cysteine(from hair, often from Chinese barber shops) sodium stearoyl lactylate, milk/whey/buttermilk, mono and diglycerides and DATEM to name a few!.
Bread rarely has eggs in it unless it is challah or naan!.
Peanut butter is usually fine if it does not contain honey!.

Wow! The trolls around here have really gone downhill!. All they do is call people gay!. They are most likely projecting!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

For bread, check the ingredients!.
Some may contain milk ingredients/egg and honey is pretty common in wheat breads!. A lot of breads are vegan, however; so just check the label!. Peanut butter just contains peanuts; and sometimes salt and oil so it is vegan!.
I love peanut butter sandwiches too!Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you don't want to read every label on your bread I would just make my own!.

I reccomend getting a bread machine!. I make about a loaf per week and it tastes so much better than store bread!
Peanut butter is generally vegan but I choose skippy natural!. It is yummy and you don't need to stir!Www@FoodAQ@Com
