And 4 of these can be non-vegan too

If I can’t see an ingredients list or talk to a chef who knows what veganism is then I just assume it’s got animal products no matter what it is

I’m presuming both forms of chips can be non-vegan due to the potential of being cooked in animal fats, what’s potentially wrong with the salad and/or beer?

Not only animal fats, I’ve seen chips that had milk listed as an ingredient. But yeah for fries it’s mostly the possibility that there’s animal fat involved.

Salads often have dressings with dairy ingredients, or just straight up have cheese thrown in

Alcohols are often processed with animal products, like isinglass (made of fish bladders) which is used in clarification. Mostly a concern in wine but I think it’s used in (some?) beer too

Interesting to know.

Milk in chips has definitely thrown me for a loop because I can’t think of any reason why that would be there.

isinglass is rarely used in beers any more, not only is it more expensive, in the US the micro brew crowd has a significantly higher number of vegans than the general population so nobody wants to lose that business. In Europe isinglass doesn’t conform to purity laws for countries that have them. Unless you’re drinking a milk stout ( or sometimes a chocolate stout, but they’re mostly just brewed with cocoa nibs) there’s a >99% chance your beer is vegan.

Let me introduce you to non-vegan bananas (tldr: if you want to be sure, buy organic bananas)
