Oreos are not vegan. Regardless of anything else you hear, the sugar used in Oreo cookies is called Purasource Certified Organic Sugar. Since organic crops are grown with manure from animals in cages, Oreo cookies sadly are not vegan. Nor is any product made with organic ingredients. Just a head's up.
From caged animals? Specifically caged animals? Sources?
So exactly where do you purchase your food?
And where did you get the info that Oreos use organic sugar? That's news to everyone...
What my recommendations are concerning anything that could contain sugar, is to stick to packages that claim to be vegan on the label. This way we can support the vegan companies out there.
unless it's targeted towards vegans, or an organic product, the sugar usually comes from different sources, so sometimes beet, sometimes processed cane-in the U.S. at least
Oreos in America have always responded that way which is why I wonder where James Hesslegrave got that organic info.
In the US! Last I knew Cananda and EU had dairy, so check that!
What sugar is used is a problem for some in US but for a common cookie others are fine with it
On labels, carmine may also be listed as cochineal extract, crimson lake, natural red 4 and E120.
