Jordans Country Crisp Chunky Nuts 500 g (Pack of 6)

Product Information

There are three main things to think about where vegan cereal is concerned: 1. ‘May contain’– most vegans would eat this Some varieties of Weetabix are suitable for vegans and some are not because they contain vitamin D. If food is labelled as vegan, then you can be 100% sure that it’s okay to eat. However, many of those cereals that aren’t labelled as vegan, are actually okay too! The vast majority of vegans aren’t concerned with potential cross-contamination during food production. This is because it’s very hard to avoid, and only trace amounts of animal products would be present, if any. However, if you have a severe food allergy then you’ll certainly want to avoid cross-contamination.

Nestle Cookie Crisp cereal is not vegan because it contains vitamin D which comes from the wool of sheep. However, this chocolate cookie cereal is dairy-free and suitable for vegetarians. Are Cheerios vegan?

Before you go!

To further confuse things, as veganism is something of a spectrum, strict vegans may choose to avoid ingredients that some new vegans are happy to eat. For the purpose of this list, any cereals which contain palm oil have been marked as vegan. Whilst some vegans choose to avoid unsustainable palm oil, sustainable palm oil does not involve the abuse of animals and is vegan. If you’d rather avoid palm oil altogether, you can see a list of palm-oil free cereals here. Nestle Nesquik cereal is not strictly vegan because it contains vitamin D which again, may be derived from sheep’s wool. Nesquik cereal does not contain milk, but it is made alongside milk products so may not be suitable for people with allergies because of cross-contamination. Are Weetos vegan?

Sometimes, it can be cheaper to make your own cereal than to buy it from a supermarket. Another advantage of doing this is that you know exactly what’s in it so that you can make sure that it’s healthy and free from contamination. It doesn’t have to take long either, as there’s often no cooking involved, just mixing ingredients together. But worry not, this vegan cereal guide will help you to identify the best vegan cereal brands in the UK. Can vegans eat cereal?

Importantly, there are two types of vitamin D, which both have the same positive effects on our bodies, but they are made in very different ways. This leaves vegans with a decision to make. Depending on how strict you are, you can either avoid anything that’s labelled as containing vitamin D or, you can decide that a small amount of sheep wool grease is acceptable. Annoyingly, there’s often no way of knowing if the vitamin D in cereal is D2 or D3. We can assume that it’s probably D3 because cereal contains a lot of fibre which can prevent D2 from being absorbed.

Sometimes, chocolate cereal can be accidentally vegan as it does not contain any milk or added vitamin D. The chocolate may be dark chocolate pieces or cocoa powder. Kellogg’s Cornflakes are not suitable for vegans because they contain vitamin D which may come from sheep’s wool. Some brands of ‘free from’ or organic cornflakes such as Nestle GoFree cornflakes are vegan-friendly. Are Coco Pops vegan? We then mix with hazelnuts, almonds, Brazil and pecan nuts to create a mouth watering combination of crunchy nutty deliciousness. Kellogg’s Special K is not suitable for vegans as it contains animal-derived vitamin D. Some varieties of Special K, such as Special K Protein also contains dried skimmed cows’ milk, while Special K Oats & Honey contains honey from bees. Are Fruit Loops vegan?
