    And 4 of these can be non-vegan too

    If I can't see an ingredients list or talk to a chef who knows what veganism is then I just assume it's got animal products no matter what it is

      I'm presuming both forms of chips can be non-vegan due to the potential of being cooked in animal fats, what's potentially wrong with the salad and/or beer?

        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.
