The doâs and donâts of a vegetarian diet
As a vegetarian, itâs simple to avoid eating meat but itâs not always so easy to spot the non-veggie ingredients that are added to foods. Donât get caught out by hidden ingredients. Always check the label!
Breakfast cereals
Do check the ingredients list as some have been known to include beef gelatine. Dorset Cereals, Rude Health and Pertwood Organics ranges are all certified suitable for vegetarians.
Worcestershire Sauce
Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce contains anchovies. Instead, try Lancashire Sauce or Hendersonâs Relish.
Pastry
Ready-made pastry can contain ingredients such as lard. Marks & Spencerâs Shortcrust Pastry and Waitrose Cooks Ingredients Puff Pastry Sheets are both suitable for vegetarians. For vegans, try Jus-Rol Puff Pastry (Frozen) Sheets, available in most major supermarkets. Most filo pastry is suitable for vegetarians, but do check the label.
