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.
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
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.
I hate to be this guy. And I apologize. However they are likely referring to the dairy that traditionally comes in mashed potatoes.
Exactly. This is mashed potatoes made without (cow) butter.
And (cow) milk.
How has several people forgotten that in these comments?
Same probably goes for this one I found at my local supermarket: https://i.imgur.com/aMDLCM2.jpg

My wife buys plant based falafels made with sweet potato or beetroot, as if chickpeas were meat 🤷
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.

Was it like whey protein in the meatballs? Wtf would dairy be used for in meatballs…
cheese
Yup that was exactly it.
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.

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