Is there such a thing? There's a recipe I *really* want to try on the side of my chocolate Silk carton & it calls for malt powder. Please tell me I can find some that's vegan!

Malt is made of (malted) barley and is vegan.
Malt is what beer is made of, but it is sometimes used as a sweetener/flavoring. :)

Mmm... now I need to make a strawberry malt. :)
What's the recipe you're going to try? I haven't bought any malt for a while, so I don't remember where to get it. For some reason I'm thinking it would be in the aisle where the powdered coffee creamers are, but I could be way off. But I do know for sure that you can get it in regular grocery stores (we bought it regularly when I was growing up)... you just may have to ask exactly where they stash it.

I bought malt from homebrew shops when I tried homebrewing. I don't know if you can find it in a grocery store or not.... Maybe in the sugar/sweetener section?

Malt that is sold in the grocery store (Carnation) is not vegan, it contains whey and milk solids. I happened to have some malt kicking around the house. My husband is a malt fiend. You can find the unadulterated malt in a homebrew or HFS like Oatmeal said.

I've tasted the malt powder from the homebrew shop and to me, it tastes exactly like the stuff sold in the grocery, so I think it would probably work. Look in your yellow pages under wine making, probably.
Those homebrew shops are good resources. I've also bought gypsum there for making tofu.

I hear a lot of people calling for "humane" treatment of animals. Given humanity's history of violence and greed, shouldn't we be aiming a little higher?

Ah. Considering my dad also brews beer, I may have gotten a little mixed up there. :o I know I can have the stuff that's in his cupboard now, and I know when I was little we got malt from the grocery, but it may not have been vegan.
Sorry for the mis-info.
