FOOD RELATED XMAS ITEMS 2015

I am sure there will be lots more and having just looked at the 2014 article I can see that I haven't checked out loads yet. But I am publishing now as I may not get time to add much more. Please continue to send your suggestions/pictures in. Thanks :)

PLEASE NOTE: I have not wrote to any companies to confirm if the fruit peel in the mince pies or xmas puds is vegan friendly (no shellac). I understand that shellac is used to make the citrus fruit for sale last longer and is not needed for any used in food production, that doesn't mean however that there won't be any used.

There is also marzipan stollen and chocolate reindeers

I believe someone got it confirmed vegan last year, but I could be wrong.
 It does contain peel, so there is a small chance it could be coated with shellac.

There is always larger xmas packs and products in mugs etc. Photos are on fb page and group of some of them. Look in xmas gift sections, Boots, Matalan and Home Bargains, Supermarkets often have some of them, but there is lots of other stores too.

As a lot of people have new year resolutions to lose weight, go raw or similar, I thought I'd share a few freebie kindle books on those vegan book subjects. There of course many more, but as I don't often post healthy foods, I thought I'd do this post for the new year! No kindle needed, a kindle reader for your PC/Laptop or Android is available free to download at Amazon too.



and happy new year to all my followers!

OUR UNOFFICIAL ASDA VEGAN LIST

OK, so Asda don't do a vegan list. They do sell however plenty of food that is vegan. This is the Vegan Womble's Team attempt at doing our own. A big thank you to Sarah for reading many labels and taking most of the photos. Everything has not been checked with Asda and this is not an allergy list. So most things say may contain traces of milk, eggs etc. As this has been put together over the last year, please do double check ingredients as formulas can change and unfortunately sometimes no longer be vegan. More will be added as we get pictures.
THIS IS A WORKING PROGRESS - PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU SPOT ANY ERRORS AND WE ARE STILL COLLECTING PHOTOS THANKS.

BAKERY
All white Unseeded bread baked in store at Asda is vegan, also tiger breads, if ever unsure they have an updated book in the back of the bakery, just ask to see it , thank you Kayleigh Lewis for this information ( she works in the bakery )
This includes all the white bread baps and rolls, baguettes, crusty rolls too,
NOT wholemeal or granary though.

Also vegan is their Wild Garlic and Herbs Paste Souper Booster (the other Souper Boosters contain honey and/or fish).
