Tag: Lacto ovo vegetarianism

According to airline and catering industry standards, the vegetarian lacto-ovo code, known as VLML, is the most common special meal request after the standard vegetarian meal. It represents a dietary preference that excludes all meat, poultry, and fish, while still including dairy products and eggs.

While vegetarianism is broadly defined as a diet free of animal flesh, a significant proportion of vegetarians, known as ovo-lacto vegetarians, include eggs in their diet. This often leads to confusion, with a key question being, **can vegetarians eat egg sandwiches?** The answer depends entirely on the specific type of vegetarian diet being followed.
