    I hate to be this guy. And I apologize. However they are likely referring to the dairy that traditionally comes in mashed potatoes.

      You’re 100% right but these should be called vegan if thats the case

        That’s a synonym for plant-based.

        Vegan is a loaded term for a lot of people. They recoil in horror at the thought of something being “vegan”. But “plant-based” isn’t anywhere near as vile, for those people.

      Same probably goes for this one I found at my local supermarket: https://i.imgur.com/aMDLCM2.jpg

      I maintain that no reasonable person should ever call a product with sour cream in it “guacamole”, but I presume that’s the ingredient they’re trying to identify is definitely not included.

      Techniclly Plant Based could still include non-plant ingredients tho, or it would just be plant

      Sure but shouldn’t they say something along those lines. This is just silliness of you ask me.

        Dairy free would be a nice way of saying it that gets straight to the point. My gf is lactose intolerant and wow does it ever make shopping difficult. There’s dairy in fucking everything! There was dairy in the goddamn meatballs I bought last week. WTF

        I think plan based is the product line. So anything in that product line won’t have animal products in it and is safe for vegans.

          If only. Plant-based, in practice as a label (based off my experiences as a American vegan) just means exactly that. It’s mostly plant. I got some plant-based burgers one time and was disgusted when I found out egg was used as the binder. Advertising is evil.

        Thing is, this seems silly until you actually try to eat a vegan diet. One time I bought pickles, thinking it’s literally cucumbers, vinegar and spices, there’s no way this couldn’t be vegan.

        Nope, it came with honey. And it tasted like dogshit, so I don’t know why they put it in there, but they sure did.

        They do. They say it’s plant based. Are you not paying attention?
