View Full Version : non-vegetarian cereals!
non-vegetarian cereals!
My other half enjoys her cereal, at the moment she's into "Kellogg's Frosted Wheats", just had a look at the ingredients and contains 'Beef Gelatin'.. mind you it does warn fatuously : "Contains Wheat"! but for vegetarians and some religions could be a bit of a problem
Didn't this happen with Mars Bars recently?
Another reason for sticking to good old porridge oats! ;)
I used to eat various sugary cereals until I had a good look at the lists of ingredients...[evil]
my cousin is veggie but did not realise that gelatine was an animal product !
we told her half way through a strawberry jelly:lol:
she now checks the cartons of everything...
its amazing what its in!
it's like the rice krispies ad - it says they contain nothing but a whole grain of puffed rice but they don't tell you there's flavouring in there too. our son has a lot of food allergies and we couldn't understand why rice krispies sent him loopy :roll:
They put fish livers in beer too.
nice! what is that listed as on the ingredients as ?
Finings are also added to the beer before it is sent to the pub. This is a glutinous substance made from the swimbladders of fish. Finings sink through the beer, attracting particles of yeast, until the beer is clear. This natural process ensures an attractive product without needing to filter and remove flavour. Finings are not actually drunk, remaining in the sediment, nor do they alter the flavour.

Really hard day, mum can't take morphine as it supresses breathing.
She has had one lung, from aged 16, she's now 80 and the most lovely, crazy,feisty, blooming fantastic person.
Now she has late stage, terminal breast cancer,...It may win..but it'll have to put up a good fight.
No one ever tells you about this bit!
Knackered Karia,...Sharon & Stephen are also a bit depleted!:eek:

There are actually "vegetarian" beers and wines that don't use isinglass (fish-derived) finings. At least there are in the USA. But then here we have beef and chicken flavoured bottled water for pets...
Sorry Guys,
I thought I was pm'ing
Mucho embarrased!:(
Silly Karia.
I have no idea who Sharon & Stephen are!
Not at all...
...oh no!
Never heard of them!:roll:
Mmmn,...I hate subterfuge!
K, or S, as you please!

Apparently (and I say that because I heard it from a colleague whose wife is unable to digest gluten) there is produced in Quebec a quite drinkable gluten free beer. He said that it was made from rice. Not my idea of where I would want to find my refreshment, but with the many food allergies and intolerances that medical science is identifying, there will always be a market for alternatives to traditional beverages.

Sadly, beer purity laws not being as strict in the UK as in for instance Germany, rice is a frequent ingredient in quite a few industrial scale beers made in Scotland (or so I was told by a brewer from one of the big places). Sake in Japan is made from rice so I am sure there is nothing inherently wrong with it - it's just a source of carbohydrate to be converted to alcohol. I just prefer a nice well-rounded malty flavour, to which rice doesn't contribute much.
