I hate to be this guy. And I apologize. However they are likely referring to the dairy that traditionally comes in mashed potatoes.
That’s a synonym for plant-based.
Vegan is a loaded term for a lot of people. They recoil in horror at the thought of something being “vegan”. But “plant-based” isn’t anywhere near as vile, for those people.
Actually no “Plant-based” is a meaningless phrase that doesn’t actually denote whether a food product contains animal products or not
Same probably goes for this one I found at my local supermarket: https://i.imgur.com/aMDLCM2.jpg
I maintain that no reasonable person should ever call a product with sour cream in it “guacamole”, but I presume that’s the ingredient they’re trying to identify is definitely not included.
My wife buys plant based falafels made with sweet potato or beetroot, as if chickpeas were meat 🤷
Sure but shouldn’t they say something along those lines. This is just silliness of you ask me.
Dairy free would be a nice way of saying it that gets straight to the point. My gf is lactose intolerant and wow does it ever make shopping difficult. There’s dairy in fucking everything! There was dairy in the goddamn meatballs I bought last week. WTF
Was it like whey protein in the meatballs? Wtf would dairy be used for in meatballs…
I think plan based is the product line. So anything in that product line won’t have animal products in it and is safe for vegans.
Thing is, this seems silly until you actually try to eat a vegan diet. One time I bought pickles, thinking it’s literally cucumbers, vinegar and spices, there’s no way this couldn’t be vegan.
Nope, it came with honey. And it tasted like dogshit, so I don’t know why they put it in there, but they sure did.
It’s probably in reference to the butter
I mean, yeah, this probably seems silly to most, but as a guy who’s allergic to dairy this makes me pretty happy. All the plant based stuff coming out has been a godsend.
Most mashed potato recipes include milk and butter.
