Are Oreos vegetarian?
Yes, Oreo cookies are generally considered to be vegetarian. The main ingredients in an Oreo cookie include flour, sugar, palm oil, and high oleic canola oil or soybean oil. While some of these ingredients may come from animal sources, such as milk or eggs, it is not necessary to use them in the production process. Additionally, Oreo cookies do not contain any animal products like meat, fish, or dairy.
However, it’s important to note that there are some variations of Oreo cookies that could potentially contain traces of animal products due to cross-contamination during manufacturing. For example, some international versions of Oreo cookies may contain whey (a milk protein) or honey. If you have a strict vegan diet or severe allergy, it’s always best to check the ingredient label on the package before consuming any food product.
