Can a Vegan eat brown bread and raw cane sugar?!


Question:

Can a Vegan eat brown bread and raw cane sugar?

I've noticed that the ingredients on a pack of bread say that it usually contains sugar, which is the only thing I can see that may mean it is not suitable for Vegans and there's no milk/butter etc. Can you clear this up for me?
Also, Can I add raw cane sugar to my food? This hasn't been filtered, so it should be alright shouldn't it?

The bread I usually have in the house contains wheat flour, water, yeast, salt, and sugar. Oh, and loads of seeds!


Answers:

raw cane sugar should be ok. Some kinds of sugar use a bleaching agent derived from animal products, so you could e-mail the bread people to check. Most shop-bought breads are vegan and many will say so on the label (or at least where I am in Scotland they do) its fairly unusual for a mass produced loaf to contain eggs, but some add milk proteins, so watch out for that. When in doubt, buy a bread-maker! I'm wheat intolerant so I make my own with a vegan gluten free bread mix. It says you can add milk and eggs to the mix so I add soya milk and a vegan egg replacement. You could probably do this with ordinary wheat bread mixes that call for eggs and milk too.
