What Makes a Chip Vegan?

Wait…aren’t all chips vegan? Nope, in fact, many have animal-derived ingredients like dairy, casein, whey, or other enzymes. This is why it’s important to check labels and familiarize yourself with what ingredients aren’t vegan-friendly.

There are a number of resources you can use to help familiarize yourself with ingredients. Back in episode 374 of The Vegetarian Zen podcast, we talked to Adriane Marie of HEALabel about conscious consumerism.

Adriane Marie has an app to help you understand not only whether ingredients are veggie-friendly but also if they are friendly toward the environment, laborers, and your health. You can download the HEALabel app here.

Below is a snapshot from the app regarding the ingredient casein. As you can see from the easy-to-read meter, casein is harmful to your health, environment, and to animals. The app also includes company contact information so that if you want to voice concerns about their products or give them kudos for being so awesome, it’s easy to do!
