Thanks for your input! This is something I've mentioned in a number of places, but not all granulated sugar uses bone char. I use the brand Red Path which does not use bone char. You just need to check with the brand, a lot of them mention whether or not they use bone char in their FAQ's.

Hi Sam! You're going to find rennet in cheese, most often in high quality and/or European cheeses. It's often not labelled as rennet on the ingredients list but instead as "microbial enzymes" (which may or may not be rennet). Some common cheeses that probably contain rennet are Parmesan and Romano cheese, Camembert (and other soft cheeses), Gruyere, emmenthaler, and Gorgonzola.

really quick question. I'm a Lacto-vegan milk is the only animal thing I'd eat if unavoidable but I am REALLY confused when it comes to identifying things that use animal things like Rennet. Do you have a link to a page that would help? Thanks

Hi Sam! Are you allergic to dairy and soy? Most of the time the package will just say "May contain dairy and soy" which isn't the same as dairy and soy being ingredients in the product. This simply means that milk is not an added ingredient, but a very small amount may have come in contact with the food (from machinery or something). This is really intended for people with severe allergies where even the tiniest amount of cross-contamination with an allergen could cause them to have an allergic reaction. Sometimes companies that don’t even use these ingredients but will add the “may contain “X” ingredients” to the package to cover their butts if someone were to have any adverse reaction. I do not avoid foods that contain only vegan ingredients but could be contaminated with non-vegan allergens.

Thank you so much Joyce!

Sounds delicious! Those Jackfruit & Mushroom Gyros with Tzatziki were a "clean out the fridge experiment", that's the only reason I used zucchini instead of cucumber. Using cucumber like you did would be preferred!
