    Inspectors from Hampshire and Kent Scientific Services found 24 (39%) out of 61 products marked as vegan contained egg or dairy, including 13 dairy alternatives and 48 meat alternatives. In total, 90% were found to be unsatisfactory – meaning they failed for traces of dairy or inaccuracies in their labelling and nutritional information.

    This is unbelievable.

        At least you’re very unlikely to be allergic to horse.

        The health risk is more important than the ethics failure.

      I know someone online who works for the FDA in the US quality controlling what the food manufacturers goods is actually what they claim it to be. I think he could tell some similar horror stories.

      90%? It’s definitely shocking.
