Is oyster sauce vegan. few resturant claim it is vegan by putting it in veg section in the menu.?

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure.......No its not Vegan,wish i could give you facts thu.......

Answer 2

All products in the u.k carry either the vegetarian or vegan logo on,usually a green leaf or flag
Oyster sauce must be non veggie i think as the stuff has extract of oyster in it.
Worcester sauce also has fish bits in it,but you can get a vegetarian one at holland and barrets in u.k,so maybe you can with oyster sauce.:):)

Answer 3

It's not vegan, since it's made from oyster essence. There's an alternative though, which is made from shitake mushrooms. So check properly with the restaurant next time, and ask what kind they use.

Answer 4

No it's not vegan...but I know they make a mushroom sauce version to replace oyster sauce.

Answer 5

actually it's not vegan but they do make a vegan version that Asian stores carry. So check with that store and ask to see the bottle, you could be eating seafood sauce.

Answer 7

no its not vegan, everyone got to be careful of the stuff in the veg section of the menu because one time i ordered tofu and there was shrimp in it.
