do you consider white, non-organic sugar, vegan? i do not not because of the animal bones used to create it. and, anytime a product has "sugar" that's what it is. so, could you ientify those products that don't contain sugar?
Sophia DeSantis
I think everyone has to decide what is best for them. I personally do not worry about sugar, we actually are not vegan but more of a plant-based diet focus. Not all sugar is created with animal bones, and those that are do not have animal products in them so many people still consider it vegan. If this is something you choose to avoid and I can't personally tell you which ones are and are not made this way. It would be something you'd probably have to call the company to ask. As for the products from Trader Joe's that do not contain sugar, I don't have a detailed list but if you go to Trader Joe's you can look at the ingredients and see which ones don't have the type of sugar you are avoiding.

While they do sell a couple of flavored and sweetened versions of Creamy Cashew Cultured Yogurt Alternative in single-serving, 5.3-ounce containers, the new Plain Unsweetened version comes in a larger, 24-ounce container, which is convenient for everyday eating and cooking use and for blending with your own add-ins.

I haven't tried the yogurts yet, but thanks for letting us know!

the soy cheese blend alternative is not vegan at least as far as I know. It doesn't look like they have changed the ingredients since the packaging is the same old package.

Thanks for sharing!

and even though it's technically NOT vegan - Trader Joe's Brown Rice Pasta (my store has both the penne and the spirals) goes with a lot of the stuff you mentioned above - and it's gluten-free!! (it's pretty good, too.....)
(PS - the link in the website box is actually my YouTube page 😀 )

Hey Andrea! The brown rice pasta we have tried from TJ's is vegan! It's pretty good, not my favorite gf pasta but decent!
