Vegetarians have a limited choice when it comes to food, but they are satisfied with it and enjoy it
thoroughly; the moment you take a vegetarian friend to a restaurant and eat non-veg, you know how the
reaction would be, LOL. But today, what we are going to discuss is capable of giving vegetarians a heart
attack. How often have you visited a VEG RESTAURANT and ordered manchow soup or naan or a
salad and thought that you are having vegetarian food?
What if you were told that some foods you are having regularly are not even Vegetarian? Shocked? Yes,
this is true. Have a look at the list of veg foods that are actually non-veg.

1. Manchow soup

I am sure you all must be relishing manchow soup, isnt it? When we go to restaurants we get it in 2
options, vegetarian and non-vegetarian. How would you react if we say that the veg version is not pure
veg? Let us tell you that some Manchow soups contain fish sauce i.e. Tom Yum Sauce. This doesnt
mean that all restaurants do so; some of them serve you pure veg too; but its better to check it out next
time you order it.

2. Naan

Even Jains eat Naan because they consider it to be pure veg. But the shocking thing is that some
restaurants use eggs while kneading the naan dough, so as to make it soft and increase elasticity.
People love to eat naans with their favorite sabzis; but if it contains eggs, its better to opt for chapattis,
right?

3. White sugar

Everyone of us uses white sugar in almost everything; its kind of a basic ingredient thats found in all
households. We just cant do without sugar! What if we tell you that sugar is non-veg? Youll think we are
kidding, but no, we are not. Natural carbon is used while bleaching; sorry to say, but what is claimed as
Natural here is charred animal bones. Most of the companies prefer granular carbon because it doesnt
contain animal products. Its better to use brown sugar.

4. Heart friendly oil

Often, we are suggested to use heart-friendly oils; there are claims that these oils help to keep
cholesterol levels in control. But do you know that they are not veg? Most of them contain Omega-3
acids and they are extracted from fish oil. You might have even come across ads that say that the oil
contains Vitamin D; but once again this vitamin is derived from sheep. All you vegetarians out there,
kindly dont puke. Just confirm the ingredients next time you purchase it.

5. Salad dressings

When vegetarians go to other countries wherein its hard to find pure veg food, they resort to salads,
because they are sure its the only veg option available. You will be heartbroken to know that salads are
veg but the dressings used are non-veg many a times. Yes, many sauces contain eggs; its good to
check out with the restaurant first even though you are ordering a lettuce salad. Have complete
information about the sauces being used.

6. Beer

Many will stop drinking beer after reading what it contains. Many makers make use of fish bladders i.e.
Isinglass for clarifying the beer and giving it a good color. You might be in love with the beers color, but
this is the creepy truth behind it.

7. Potato chips

Potato chips can be consumed while fasting too, but let us tell you the ugly truth. Some chips especially
barbeque flavor contain chicken fat; its really sad to hear that our all time favorite snack having a tag of
Non-veg; once again, this is not the case everywhere; many manufacturers dont resort to this chicken
fat and serve us crisp veg chips.

8. Cake mix

Source

People prefer baking cakes at home because they have a doubt that the cakes available outside are not
pure veg; but even some cake mixes contain lard or pork fat. Did you get that eeks feeling? Please
check the ingredients next time.

9. Cheese

Vegetarians just cant imagine fast food without loads of cheese. Sadly, some types of cheeses contain
rennet; it might sound as a casual ingredient but in reality its an enzyme thats derived from animal gut
i.e. its gastrointestinal tract. Should I stop eating cheese now?

10. Jelly

Jelly sweets or jelly desserts are a favorite of kids; many vegetarians prefer serving a bowl of jelly to
guests, after a scrumptious meal. However, the main ingredient is gelatin which is an animal derivative.
Taking care of vegetarians needs, companies have started replacing it with starch.
