4/29/03 Whey! Hear is the response from the company of VEAT

[Guest guest]

Dear Elite:

Thank you for taking the time to contact Veat, Inc. and Van's International

Foods.

We are always interested in hearing from our consumers and appreciate knowing

their

reactions to our products.

UNFORTUNATELY, I have to say that Veat is NOT 'Vegan'.

This is due to the fact that Veat contains 'Whey Protein', which is a derivative

of dairy.

The 'Whey Protein' is a binding agent for the soy and we have been researching

alternative

products as a substitute.

However, we have had little to no success in finding an acceptable replacement

to the

'Whey Protein'.

I do not know if we will be able to remove the ingredient.

I am sorry to be the bearer of the bad news and I am sorry that we may not be

able to keep

you as a Veat consumer.

Thank you for the interest in our products and the opportunity to be of service.

If you provide me with your complete address, I could send you a brochure for

our

Van Waffles which DO have some Vegan products.

 

Sincerely,

Mark A. Kirchner

Customer Support Specialist

Van's International Foods and Veat, Inc.

4/29/03 Question about " Whey "

 

Has been a discussion on one of my lists.

 

The question is the 'whey' is it from the soybean or from animal

by-product.

We are vegans and we eat a plant based diet. Thanks.

 

Could you send me a list of your products and the price list. What is the name

of your products.

 

Do you have phone number other than the Fax, that is on the website?

 

Thank you, Elite in Idaho, USA
