Lots of 'haram' possibilities with Klondike
Hello MRS. LAZEENA,
Thank you for writing us regarding Klondike Ice Cream .
Some of our products contain ingredients that are derived from animal-by-products. Any product containing Glycerin and/or Stearic Acid contains animal by products:
- Stearic acid from beef tallow
- Glycerin may be either synthetic or natural glycerin, which is derived from beef tallow or coconut
- Lanolin Alcohol is derived from animal matter
- Oleic Acid- Derived from animal (beef or pork)
The actual ingredient used in the products is significantly different from the original animal-by-product. These types of ingredients are widely used in our industry, and they are safe and effective in our products.
Sincerely,
Your friends at Klondike
"Lazeena,
Thank you for emailing us your questions regarding Sunshine® Cheez-It's®. We appreciate your interest in our company and products and are happy to answer your questions.
Kosher law is very complex. Some animals are prohibited from being consumed while others are allowed. If our product is labeled as Kosher, it does not contain any non-Kosher ingredients but may still contain Kosher approved animal ingredients including some meats and milk.
It appears that you are interested in knowing if Sunshine® Cheez-It® Original crackers contain any animal ingredients. The only animal derived ingredient in these crackers is milk. The enzymes used to make the cheese are from a microbial (yeast) source. No animal enzymes are used in Cheez-It® products.
No Cheez-It® products contain alcohol. If a product's ingredients include natural and/or artificial flavors, these ingredients can be processed with alcohol. However, during the baking of our crackers, all of the alcohol is evaporated leaving no alcohol in the final product.
I do hope this information answers your questions and that you will be able to enjoy our cheezy crackers!
Sincerely,

Hi Lazeena,
Fantastic World Foods is a brand which makes a line of Vegan meals. They're pretty much ready made and in a box, all you have to do is heat it up or add some water. These would be perfect when you want a good dinner but are too lazy to cook.
I've tried their hummus before (even though I didn't have to go the vegetarian route for that!) All I did was add hot water and a dash of olive oil and I was good to go! I also tried their Vegetarian Chili, now I for one am not a fan of meatless chili, but it tasted great paired with tortilla chips.
Check out their products here, and below is the email I was sent from them. Oh, and for some reason when they responded to the email the person said THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST IN OUR MEAT LOAF MIX.... uhhhh... I never even mentioned MEAT LOAF MIX. I just asked if it was alcohol free lol!.
Thanks so much for your interest in our Fantastic Foods Meat Loaf Mix and for taking the time to write.
Your questions are very important to us and I'll certainly help you as best I can.
No, there is no alcohol in the vegetarian entrees.
I hope that this information has been helpful to you. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist you.
Warm Regards,

Dear Lazeena,
The gelatin used in our products is derived from general fish stock - they are not caught solely for the harvesting of gelatin. The gelatin is taken from fish that are being used for food purposes.
