I ate some Nik-Naks recently but then realised that I didn't check whether they were suitable for vegetarians!. When I did go back to check, there wasn't anything on the packet or the website!.

Help!

Thank you!.

Answers:
MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) is a flavour enhancer!. It is something that can make anyone feel unwell!. Many foods contain MSG but it may be beneficial for everyone to avoid it, not just vegetarians!.

Vegetarians don't eat anything that an animal had to die for!.

I don't think there are anything in there, but the flavourings might have animal parts in them!. One most wrappers they have a number you can for nutritional info!. Call it and ask!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A vegetarian can eat any of those things is they want to, it's a vegan who will stay away from anything made from an animal!.

Check this site for animal ingredients:

Vegans stay away from sugar (unless it's cane sugar) because of the way it's made!.

Not sure to be honest, but a product like that would say on it if it were suitable for vegetarians!. If it doesn't then it probably has some kind of meat derivative in it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

no, but as you can see other than the spices you are eating a load
of rubbish!. even beef crisps don't have beef in them its all synthetic
stuff!.
don't beat yourself up about it thoughWww@FoodAQ@Com

I don't think so!. BUT, I wouldn't consume MSG!. Better to eat an animal by-product where the animal is raised free range and hormone free than eat MSG!. Not that I'm judging your choice as I was once a vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

These flavours are 100% vegetarian, but not vegan as it involves Lactose from milk!.
Your fine - no animals consumed here! :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, according to Tesco shopping online, a Nik Naks multipack says suitable for vegetarians and contains the 2 flavours you refer to!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

For a vegetarian it seems okay, the flavorings may contain animal products though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The flavourings part may be questionable or may just be a trade secret as well!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

if you like chemicals
why not stick to homegrown veg
and add some peppers and spices

if you are a good cook you do not need all these
handy quick chemical flavors

the flavorings could be of animal origin if it didnt say otherwiseWww@FoodAQ@Com

There is nothing there that I would consider taboo!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

im not reall sure wat the problem is!?!? you ate them you liked them so why does it matter!?!Www@FoodAQ@Com
