strange, isn't it? And yet at Christmas i offered a packet of Walkers specific version crisps - think of it replaced into white wine & mushroom, or something. Sounds disgusting, even with the undeniable fact that it replaced into Christmas! besides, for once I did no longer examine the packet, and once I have been given it domicile I realised that it did no longer say acceptable for vegetarians. can't bear in mind what the factor replaced into now. besides, I emailed Walkers to ask why yet have been given no functional reaction, only a catalogue of their products that are acceptable for vegetarians.

Answer 5

Yes! I am 100% sure that these are all suitable for a vegetarian.
