Thing is, this seems silly until you actually try to eat a vegan diet. One time I bought pickles, thinking it’s literally cucumbers, vinegar and spices, there’s no way this couldn’t be vegan.
Nope, it came with honey. And it tasted like dogshit, so I don’t know why they put it in there, but they sure did.
If only. Plant-based, in practice as a label (based off my experiences as a American vegan) just means exactly that. It’s mostly plant. I got some plant-based burgers one time and was disgusted when I found out egg was used as the binder. Advertising is evil.
Dairy free would be a nice way of saying it that gets straight to the point. My gf is lactose intolerant and wow does it ever make shopping difficult. There’s dairy in fucking everything! There was dairy in the goddamn meatballs I bought last week. WTF
Sure but shouldn’t they say something along those lines. This is just silliness of you ask me.

They do. They say it’s plant based. Are you not paying attention?
I think plan based is the product line. So anything in that product line won’t have animal products in it and is safe for vegans.

IIRC “dairy free” can still have lactose in it in the US just as an FYI
Whereas “non-dairy” can still be cow milk derived as long as the lactose has been removed
Yeah it’s crazy annoying and stupid smh
But remember, calling plant based products “milk” would be too confusing for the poor consumers! /s
Well thats even more fucked up. It’s kind of sad that it seems believable to me too
Was it like whey protein in the meatballs? Wtf would dairy be used for in meatballs…
cheese
Maybe they shouldn’t buy cheesy meatballs if they don’t want dairy in it…
Yup that was exactly it.
