    Yes - I remember noticing this on other cereals in the past, quite a few actually. Can't remember which ones though.

    I'm pretty sure regular corn flakes are fine. Dunno about any others. Except rice krispies actually, they're grand.

    I hate that those frosted wheats have beef gelatine in them. What possible need would they have to do that?! Especially considering the majority of their other cereals are animal free?

    Pills are an obvious one, I think of the 4 I'm currently on, only one is vegetarian. 2 have gelatine caps, one is a bright pink from carmine. Went looking for omega 3 oils for my sister and found a couple that said 'vegetarian caps!' proudly on the label but still were fish oils inside :confused: don't get the point of that!

    Whey/rennet turns up in a lot of crisps/snacks even my beloved Salt and Vinegar Snack a Jacks. :( Ate about 5 packs before I checked :( Random vegetable soups having chicken stock or 1% dehydrated ham or something is a pain. Ironically my sister brought two of the same brand of soup home last night, chicken had vegetable stock, vegetable had chicken stock. Can't win :D

    Fear not!!! The salt and vinegar Snack a Jacks are now vegetarian!! Every now and then I would get a longing for a packet and would check the ingredients whenever I saw them....and it paid off because to my joy I found out a few weeks ago they took out the nasties and they are veggie again!! WOOO!!! (they are in fact vegan! double WOO!)

    I seem to remember reading something that they do. I think they are linked with Palmolive...maybe I'm wrong.

    May not be so bad.. that sounds more like beetroot juice extract than beetlejuice :-p
    Haha remember him?! Mad looking lad he was. Didn't scare me when I was a kid but it scares me now!

    And as for Club Orange being vegetarian - as far as I can figure out it's fine :) I can't see anything stating otherwise!

    Know about rockshandy??

    I am unsure of drinks containing beta carotene, they may not be veggie, tehy may be.

    Haha did Beetlejuice appear to you? I hope he did...but part of me is scared too...mixed feelings...he is freaky looking.

    I think the rock shandy is ok too. I trust it to the point that I've been drinking it myself so if it does have crushed up bugs or fish in it then I am contaminated. I have only ever read about Fanta having fish in it, never seen mention of Club. Just steer clear of all Fanta, they're the devil! Oh and I noticed that some red lemonades have bugs in them:( Stupid colouring...why not use beetroot of some other natural red colouring?!

    In view of the Guinness 250 Celebrations, I emailed them last week about the isinglass issue and got a nice email back, apologizing but

    "Production processes in the UK/Ireland are subject to strict EU legislation and at present isinglass is the only fining agent suitable for stout, which has been approved in the UK and Ireland. Any new fining agent, especially synthetic substitutes, would not be approved for food without rigorous testing both in Europe and by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States. As yet there are no suitable alternatives available."

    If O'Hara's can do it why can't Guiness and Murphy's?
