I've just been informed and double checked it on the Kellogs website that their Frosted Wheats cereal contains BEEF gelatine. I've no idea if they always have or if its a new ingredient, just thought I would let people know! www.kelloggs.co.uk/products/viewproduct.aspx?id=316#

thanks maisiepaisie ,
I'm sure Dr. Kellogg himself would not approve of BEEF geletine been used as apparently he was a strict vegetarian!!

That is a seriously good website, even if their products are over-processed, salty, sugar-laden garbage.

Slugling Minor lives almost exclusively on coco pops. At least they're vegan. If I could just persuade her to have them with plant milk instead of cow pus I'd be happy.

Quite surprised how many of them are vegan actually, I always thought Kelloggs were a no-no.
Tbh I'm not into breakfast cereals. Pity none of their cereal bars are vegan, those sort of things are quite useful for snacking on, especially when you're out and about.

Lyme Regis Fruitus cereal bars are vegan and you can buy them from Tesco and Asda

Ah cheers for that Maisie! I used to live on Cocopops as a child but stopped eating them one day and haven't had any since, now I may just have to buy them again! That's the problem with veganism I tend to eat things I never did before because I can... woops lol

I prefer the Doves Farm choco stars to Coco Pops myself.
They are lower in salt and organic. Not sure about sugar content but they are probably fairly similar.
My favourite cereal is a mix of puffed whole grains (with nothing else added) with dried fruit. Kelloggs used to sell plain Kashi cereal which was really good - 7 types of puffed grains and nothing else added. They only sell the honey covered version now though (in the UK at least).

I get those Doves Farm chocolate stars for the kids and also Asda have started doing their own brand of coco pops. They're called Organic choco crispies.

Sorry to bump this thead - I'm really confused as to why Fruit & Fibre is labelled as suitable for vegans but All Bran isn't....?
Unless I'm missing something obvious, the only ingredient that seems different is wheat bran as opposed to wholewheat... does anyone know why one may be considered vegan but not the other?
All Bran: Wheat Bran (85%), Sugar, Barley Malt Flavouring, Glucose-Fructose Syrup, Salt, Niacin, Iron, Vitamin B6, Riboflavin (B2), Thiamin (B1), Folic Acid, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12.
Fruit & Fibre: Wholewheat (70%), Dried Fruit (25%) {Raisins, Coconut, Banana (Flavouring), Apple, Hazelnuts}, Sugar, Salt, Barley Malt Flavouring, Niacin, Iron, Vitamin B6, Riboflavin (B2), Thiamin (B1), Folic Acid, Vitamin B12.

It could be the Vitamin D. That is often sourced from sheep's wool. I think Vitamin D3 is ok though.

Post by Pob on Jan 15, 2008 11:22:29 GMT
Other way around, Sluggie. Vitamin D3 is from sheep's wool, D2 is vegan. If it just says vitamin D then it is D3 from sheep's wool.

I got vitamin D tablets today, they say vegetarian and dairy free so I was hoping they would be vegan *has craving for coco pops*

Thanks for the tips - I know to avoid lanolin but it hadn't occured to me that animal produce would stretch to apparently innocent vitamins added to cereal. Live and learn...
I got stupidly caught out today by Sainsbury's "free from" range by assuming "dairy-free" meant it wouldn't contain eggs either. I should've known it was too good to be true!
