    Not only animal fats, I've seen chips that had milk listed as an ingredient. But yeah for fries it's mostly the possibility that there's animal fat involved.

    Salads often have dressings with dairy ingredients, or just straight up have cheese thrown in

    Alcohols are often processed with animal products, like isinglass (made of fish bladders) which is used in clarification. Mostly a concern in wine but I think it's used in (some?) beer too

      Interesting to know.

      Milk in chips has definitely thrown me for a loop because I can't think of any reason why that would be there.

        the one that gets me is when there are milk products in spicy chips like...? doesn't milk denaturize capsaicin? you're making the chips less spicy by doing that, you absolute clowns

        Unfortunately some sours are started with dairy yogurt (Oakshire Brewing in the US does this for all theirs), and there was a quick trend of lactose IPAs. Generally these things are outlined on the label, but not always. Worth a check whenever you’re considering a sour, at least.
