Ive got a pack of oreos right here and on the ingredients list;

DRIED WHEY (FROM MILK)

on that first link I cant see it saying milk either, thats strange, Im in the UK by the way, maybe thts why its different?

I can write out the whole ingrediants list if you would like.

Im in the UK, they definitely say MILK in the ingredients list, thats lucky you got the vegan ones, shame Uk's aren't.

Unfortunately that list is not entirely accurate and does list non-vegan things from time to time. It even says on their site "*Items listed may contain trace amounts of animal-derived ingredients."

If they just say "chocolate" but don't list the actual ingredients of the chocolate that is where the milk might be hiding in the "non-milk" oreos.

I know. That's why I said that ingredients still need to be read. That list is to get a idea of what may be vegan.

There used to be some regional variations, even within the US and Canada. Seriously, there was some knock-down thread where people were fighting about the veganacity of Oreos. It was brutal. Now, there are all of the different sizes and shapes and flavors too.

This is exactly it. I remember being in Canada and talking to a guy from Mobile. He was upset Oreos weren't vegan and I was saying "yes they are!" Then Golden Oreos were vegan or weren't, I forget it's all confusing now. What it comes down to is that you always have to read the ingredients list!

ETA: You shouldn't be eating Oreos anyways, they're bad for you

(I should take my own advice
)

i was pleasantly surprised to find Pillsbury crescent rolls on that list,

and even more ecstatic after confirming the ingredients first hand.

SWEET!!

Don't believe what any list says. Call or write the company and ask yourself. If sugar is listed, as just sugar they can go bakc and forth from char sugar to not and vice versa.

Peta's list is not a viable list in my opinion especially since the qualify it with there might be traces of animal ingredients. Stick with organic foods by smaller companies and call them to ask them about their ingredients.

IMHO, regardless of the ingredients listed on the package, oreo's by nabisco are NOT vegan
