I love the clarity but now I want to know why it isn’t vegan!

    so there’s cross-contamination

    In India, that would make it not vegetarian.

    Although, the “not vegan” part may be touching the extended definitions, part of which being low on ecological impact. So maybe one of the Bioengineered Food Ingredients is making it not Vegan.

    But considering that fake meat is being called vegan (which might as well be taking more energy than 3rd world meat), I can’t say for sure, what they are getting at.

    The ingredients list tells me that it would taste good, if it were cooked fresh and not industrially preserved in a can.

      Technically, it would still have that green dot. I don’t think they are legally obliged to mention this on vegetarian product that it was processed in the same facility where <animal product> is processed, unless it is an allergen.
