FAQ: Vegan Snacking Questions
Are all Oreos vegan?
Yes! Regular Oreos don't contain any animal products. Some specialty flavors may differ.
What about "may contain milk" warnings?
These are for allergen cross-contamination and don't mean the product contains animal ingredients.
Is dark chocolate always vegan?
Usually, but check ingredients for milk fat or milk solids. 70%+ cacao is typically safer.
How do I get enough protein from vegan snacks?
Focus on nuts, nut butters, protein bars (GoMacro, No Cow), hummus, and seed-based snacks.
