WTF, THAT'S NOT VEGETARIAN?!?!?!?

So I was having a discussion with my very good vegan friend Nat and we had some epiphanies about some stuff that we always thought was vegetarian (and sometimes had been consuming as though it was!), but as it turns out, is NOT:


-Smart Ones: Santa Fe Rice and Beans, Roasted Potatoes and Broccoli in Cheese Sauce
BOTH contain beef and chicken stock, and the Santa Fe has other animal fats and gelatin added. Lean Cuisine varieties of the same meals have NO non-vegetarian ingredients.

-Green Giant SteamFresh Veggies in Cheese Sauce
Gelatin.

-Mushroom gravy sauce packets
LOOK CLOSELY, many contain beef fat even though it's mushroom gravy. You can always make your own! Or, at holiday times, stores like Whole Foods often have a vegan mushroom gravy in a box that's decent.


If you've run across anything that is shockingly NOT vegetarian, leave a comment and I'll add them to the list!
