is Campbell's "Classic Tomato" soup vegetarian?

Question

the ingredients from the back of the container.: tomato puree (water, tomato paste), water, wheat, flour, high fructose corn syrup, contains less than 2% of the following : salt, ascorbic acid (added to help retain color), flavoring, citric acid.

now, don't really base your answer on the ingredients. and please, i'm looking for answers from strict vegetarians and vegans. if you are NOT a follower of the lifestyle, please say so in your answer. but the ones who follow it very closely are the ones who i'm really looking for, and they are the ones that will know for sure.

also, if it IS vegetarian, is it vegan?

thanks.

thank you so much!

but you say the high fractse corsyrup is COMPLETELY veggie, right?
it just causes craving?

Answer 1

I WOULD HOPE SO CAUSE I EAT IT

Answer 2

As far as I can tell it looks vegan, but if you're worried, check out Imagine Organic Creamy Tomato Soup(www.imaginefoods.com). There's no artificial garbage in there like there is in the Campbell's. If someone's going to use sweetenter in my soup, I'd rather have brown rice syrup than high fructose corn syrup, thank you.

Ascorbic acid is vitamin C. The only questionable ingredient is the mysterious flavoring. Unless you contact the company, there's no way to tell what's in it, and "flavoring" covers a hell of a lot of territory and can be almost anything.

Answer 3

I believe it is vegetarian and vegan - it just has a lot of crap in it that we probably shouldn't eat. Corn syrup and preservatives....yuck

If you really like tomato soup, you should try Amy's tomato soup (there is a creamy one and a chunky one) They are all natural, organic and free from unhealthy ingredients. They also have a lot of other great soups. On the back label, it even tells you if its vegan or vegetarian...so there is no guessing.

The best part is, you don't even have to go to specialty groceries any more. Now more mainstream groceries are carrying health foods!

Answer 4

It's vegan (therefore it's also vegetarian). High fructose corn syrup is bad for you, but only because it's like pure sugar. Some people think ascorbic acid isn't vegan, but I've done research: it is. I would think tomato soup would have milk in it, but I guess not. Enjoy!

Answer 5

Yes it is Veggie & Vegan. I'll be honest the High Frutose Corn Syurp would keep me from eating it. Bad stuff... usually sets up craving for more food in the body. This is a varified physical response to that product.

I am a Raw Vegan, but have follow a Veggie Diet for 40+ years.

Answer 11

meat eater here. It's vegetarian alright, but maybe not vegan. vegetarian dishes can have dairy products, egg, and honey in them, while vegan may not. If you are looking for strict vegan, I wouldn't eat it.
