Answer 1

There are several potential problems with the ingredients you list.
First off most sugar gets filtered through burned animal bone. I think you left the word whey out where you list "cultured dextrose" and cultured whey is dairy. No vegan will ever trust the listing of "natural flavor" since that's a common place to hide animal ingredients (ex. McD's fries hide the beef tallow in them under the term). Several of the listed vitamins are commonly sourced from slaughterhouse scraps/waste including the listed niacin, B vitamins and Ferric Phosphate.

Is that enough?

No, they are not vegan, however, there is an awesome knockoff brand out there that is, they're called 'Fig Newmans.' You should be able to find them at any health food store or even an upscale grocery store. They taste just as good as fig newtons, but they contain no animal products.

Answer 5

they always have whey.Trust me,I can remember from looking at the package,I'm 100% sure there is whey in it.Whey is derived from milk.

vitamin A (retinol): derived from fish liver oil or egg yolk. Use/s: cosmetics, food supplement

Vitamin A also displays antioxidant and anticarcinogenic activities. Animal liver provides the richest concentrations of vitamin A but high concentrations can also be found in eggs, whole milk, fish liver oils, butter and cream.
