Today I had to give a co-worker a beans-and-rice dish I had, the type you just add water to, because I didn't see it had "chicken fat" as an ingredient until it was too late. I am allergic to eggs and poultry. I've also gotten very sick from canned vegetable soups and realized it was because they used chicken broth. I know I should make more myself and *always* read the ingredients, but why would food companies add chicken fat or broth in the first place?! Don't they know that some people truly want a vegetarian option?!
I'm ranting, but I'm also interested in sensible explanations.

No, i think ill. I easily ought to carry my breath at the same time as going through butchers shops and that i stay away from supermarkets the position they glide the scent of the rotisserie about. i have been a vegetarian for over 17 years now and that i do not omit meat slightly. i might want to have reported that interpreting the labels became extremely user-friendly to being a vegetarian - regrettably an excellent form of meals have animal slaughter through-products in them. it really is no longer basically lumps of meat you ought to stay away from yet sneaky such issues as gelatin, rennet and lard. sturdy success with it.

Most consumers are not vegetarians so chicken fat and broth are added to give extra flavor at a low cost. You can't frequent regular grocery stores and expect them to cater to special needs. I am allergic to a lot of things also so I always have to read labels. Unfortunately, it's our fate.

You have to look for words like VEGAN rather than vegetarian. Just assume all food PRODUCTS have other stuff in it. And yes, you must read the ingredients.

I suppose if you ask the manufacturers they'd tell you it makes their product taste better. I find it very frustrating, too, but I've just gotten used to reading labels and never assuming anything.

we need a national symbol for vegetarian and for vegan on packages, like kosher things. save us a heck of alot of time. but i probably wouldnt trust it anyways and read the list just the same.

They shouldnt: if a product claims to be" vegitarian" then it shouldnt hold any amount of any animal product or by product.
you may be better of going completely vagaen(its healthier too)

This is what I use for broth and it's excellent. (veggie bouillon)
I also use it on veggies instead of butter.
