Guest guest Posted September 7, 2003 Report Share Posted September 7, 2003 Strangely enough, I've noticed that with Safeway. They stock Quorn mince instead of soya mince now, for instance, and all but one of their relatively recent launch of own brand veggie foods wasn't vegan. The one that was appears to now have been discontinued. As for Guinness, it is different the world over in flavour and strength, so I don't find it unreasonable to assume that different countries may also have differing methods of removing the sediment. Dave ----- Original Message from Richard SAUNDERS ----- I'm finding it more and more difficult to get vegan food in supermarkets. Ironically, at a time when it is easier to get soya milk, for those on " dairy free " diets, it is more and more difficult, I think, to find veggie burgers etc that dont have some pointless ingredient, usually way way down the list, like " concentrated milk protein " or " egg albumen " . In Tescos and Safeways my only options are now the dreaded Linda McCartney stuff, (and very few of those are edible). Any ideas? On a related note. On a recent visit to Dublin, I was repeatedly assured by 3-4 members of the staff at the Guiness factory that no isinglass was used now, and that centrifugation alone was used to remove sediment. They didnt seem to be lying, and none of the literature even mentioned the word. So.... do they just not know what goes into it, or have they stopped using it, or was it a vegan myth?
