Tag: Vegan warning

According to the product packaging from various retailers, Burton's Fish and Chips baked snacks are officially labeled as 'Suitable for Vegetarians'. This confirms they do not contain fish or other meat-based ingredients, a common misconception due to the snack's misleading name.

According to the UK's Food Standards Agency, while strict processes prevent cross-contamination for allergen-free labeling, the same is not legally required for vegan labels, making asterisks and disclaimers crucial for consumer awareness. The most common reason for an asterisk next to a vegetarian or vegan symbol is to signal potential cross-contamination with animal products.
