vegetarian question.?

Question

i've been a vegetarian for a year and 2 months,
but i have a question.

Is four cheese pizza hot pocket, vegetarian?

Answer 1

Nope!

Ignoring for a moment the issue of the source of their enzymes; all their products use L-cysteine which is derived from animals (sometimes even HUMAN animals!).

You'd also need to know if the glycerides used are animal or vegetable based.

Considering these are made by Nestle, I'd seriously doubt they use vegetable based enzymes and gylcerides. And it doesn't matter anyway since there's other animal based ingredients present!

In any event take a look at the 'nutritional value' of this stuff and think about whether or not this is *really* something you want to subject your body to!

Answer 2

these days alot of pizzas, cheese and stuff with cheese in it puts the words "suitable for vegetarians", and alot of the time its a wayste of time putting that because alot of producers of cheese curdle rennet (baby calfs stomach) into the cheese, and its called whey powder some whey powder is vegetarian some is not ! so if this pizza says vegetarian it may be and it may not be its about an 70-80 % that it is vegetarian chance or mabye more, vegetarian society approved products are always 100 % vegetarian, if you are unsure whether to eat it, just go to the companys website and email them asking them if they use a vegetarian rennet or if they use a rennet at all, best thing to do is get pizza that is approved by the vegatrian society, or from a company that knows what there talking about and are sure that its vegetarian.

Answer 3

If you are a lacto-ovo vegetarian and the hot pocket doesn't contain gelatin, then yes.

Answer 4

RTFL. Read the freaking label!

And if the cheese has rennet, no, it isn't.
