hi guys i'm sorry to post such a silly sounding question as my first post but everyone keeps saying how jelly tots are vegan but everytime I look at a packet in my local newsagents it says they have lactic acid in. Am i being really silly here? thank you jessie

taken from www.vrg.org/nutshell/faqingredients.htm#lacWhat about those ingredients that sound like they are from milk, such as lactic acid, lactose, and lactate? If it's lactate or lactic acid, it's not from dairy (exception - sterol lactate due to the stearic acid). "Lac" ingredients are usually produced by a fermentation process using cornstarch or beet sugar. Lactose is always from dairy. Most ingredients made with with calcium are vegan (i.e. calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate). The exceptions are calcium caseinate and calcium stearate. Drink up the calcium fortified o.j. - it's vegan!
