What percent meat is pepperoni?!


Question: What percent meat is pepperoni!?
I'm semi-vegetarian (I only eat poultry and fish as meat) and I'm trying to find out if it's "safe" for me to eat pepperoni, because a family member told me that pepperoni has almost no meat in it (mostly spices, fat, etc!.)!. Please help!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Dry ingredients:
1 1/4 cup vital wheat gluten
1/4 cup nutritional yeast

Wet ingredients:
2 tablespoons cashew butter (may substitute peanut butter or tahini)
2/3 cup water
4 tablespoons ketchup or tomato sauce
1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke
1/4 teaspoon agave nectar (optional, but definitely use if you use tomato sauce)

Preheat oven to 325 F!. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl!. Put the cashew butter in a smaller bowl, and slowly mix in the water!. Add the remaining wet ingredients to the small bowl and blend well!.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry, stirring well (use your hands if necessary)!. Remove from the bowl and knead for a few minutes, making sure ingredients are distributed well!.
Roll into a log shape, about 7 inches long!. Place the log on foil and roll it up in the foil, twisting the ends to seal!. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, turning over after 45 minutes!.
Remove from oven and unwrap to cool!. Slice as needed and store leftovers wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge!.

Pepperoni is meat!. You are not a vegetarian!. Everything is safe for you to eat because you are not a vegetarian!. This kind of thing drives me crazy!. If you eat any type of meat you are not a vegetarian at all!. You can't be a semi-vegetarian just like you can't be semi-pregnant!.

The word vegetarian means someone who doesn't eat meat!. Adding the prefix semi doesn't make it mean that you can eat some meat!.

People like you confuse people!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you only eat poultry and fish you can't eat pepperoni anyways since it's pork!.

Quality (meat percent) varies by brand but it's usually about 75 percent meat!.

There's no such thing as a semi-vegetarian!. ALL meaters are semi-vegetarians then and that's just silliness!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

its all meat pepperoni is a sausage made of pork like summer sausage you also can use summer sausage on pizza !Www@FoodAQ@Com

Pepperoni is disgusting anyway and it most likely has beef and pork in it!.

and semi-vegetarian makes no sense!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No!. Pepperoni isn't "safe!." Unless you're eating vegetarian or turkey pepperoni, the stuff has red meat in it!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
