Question: Is margerine a vegan product- I see in a lot of vegan recipes!.!?
I thought margerine was non vegan and I am pretty sure it is non vegan, but I see it in a lot of vegan bakery recipes!!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Margarine is primarily made with plant oils!. However, in their quest to imitate butter most manufacturers put whey in their product, which makes it non-vegan!.

There are several vegan options, though!. Earth Balance non-hydrogenated spread is completely free of animal ingredients, tastes really good (I was always a real butter person, so I'm picky,) and bakes and cooks well!. One of the Smart Balance varieties is also vegan and there's a brand that I think is called Willow Run that is animal-free, too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Some margerines are, most aren't!. Many brands add milk solids for some unknown (and infuriating) reason!

In my country there are at least two common (i!.e!. found at local supermarket) margerines that are vegan: one is an expensive olive oil based marg and the other is very cheap generic supermarket brand!.

Just check the ingredients list for milk solids :)

The majority of margarine and vegetable spreads are not vegan, many are not vegetarian as they have fish oils in them!.

You can get dairy free ones though - just look in a health food shop or the "dairy-free" area of a supermarket!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There are a few vegan margarine brands:

Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread
Soy Garden Natural Buttery Spread
Smart Balance 37% Light Buttery Spread

Most other margarines aren't vegan!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
