Tag: Jojos

Most people asking "Are jojos vegan?" are referring to one of two very different types of food: the popular sandwich cookies or seasoned potato wedges. A surprising number of common cookie flavors, including some Joe-Joe's from Trader Joe's, are accidentally vegan, while potato jojos' vegan status depends entirely on preparation method and shared cooking oil.

According to reports from a former deli employee, Safeway's deli jojo potatoes are frequently cooked in the same oil as fried chicken. For this reason alone, the question "Are Safeway Jojos vegan?" is a complex one, and the answer is not a simple yes, primarily due to the high risk of cross-contamination.
