So, if it was made with > cheese containing animal rennet, you also did the right thing! Yeah, for years I blinked at cheese and the animal rennet in it. It's a problem. Most processed foods have something animal about them - even pickles. Again, one must make the decision to do the best one can. It's not just vegetarianism or veganism that occupies one's mind after all. There's also 'fair trade' - we buy organic fair trade coffee beans, organic fair trade tea - but I'm not sure I can guarantee that those employed are always 'adults' by our standards or that no animals have been employed in the transport of some of the produce, etc. :=) And of course, tea and coffee in restaurants is another deal. And there's the problem of supporting regimes, by trade, with which one might have personal disagreement. And and and. Perfection, fortunately, is unattainable.
