Some label says product may contain milk or milk trashes but it’s not written as main ingredient of product so is that vegan

I feel as if ones motivation for becoming vegan is important to look at, here. If you are mostly worried about using animal byproducts, then stay away from organically grown vegetables. They use a TON of animal byproducts to produce. If you're concern lies heavily in the environmental impact, then you'll want to eat organically grown vegetables. Inorganic fertilizer is made from fossil fuels, and horrible for the soil, eventually building up toxic levels of heavy metals.

In reply to Chris. Congrats on switching to veganism, that's wonderful! I'm glad you found this site helpful in your transition :) Be sure to take things slowly if you need to and be patient with yourself if you make a mistake!

Attempting the full switch to vegan lifestyle as of Jan 1. I know, I know, very cliché!
Haven't exactly tried any full on dinner recipes just yet, sort of relying on local restaurants or pretty raw snacking options to start with.
Luckily, living in the city provides a lot of options.
Just wanted to say that this site as well as a few others so far have been a real help. Thanks!

In reply to Marie. You're so kind Marie! Thank you so much, I appreciate your time and comments :) As for comfort foods I make (I think you mean recipes?) broccoli soup, chili, pot pies, mac and cheese, tofu + potato stew, stir-fry, and curries are some of my go-to comfort food recipes! And hey, continue doing your best! If you mess up, it's totally okay, just move on and keep doing your best. You certainly don't need to be perfect!

In reply to john gilbert. Nice, John! It can certainly be confusing when reading labels for different products - over time you get a general understanding of what is and isn't vegan. Most companies will also be able to tell you if a specific ingredient is vegan-sourced or not, I suggest reaching out to them by e-mail or phone whenever possible.
