Lots of what you already eat is vegan!
Many well-known products are vegan by chance, and we’ve listed some of our favorite “accidentally vegan” products below.
The More Obvious:
- Pasta (dry): Almost all dried pasta is made without egg and is therefore 100% vegan
- Most fresh bread is vegan and Ciabatta, by its very nature, is always vegan as it is made with olive oil
- Peanut Butter and other nut butters
- Ketchup
- Mustard: Dijon, wholegrain, yellow
- Hot sauces like Tabasco, Frank’s, and Sriracha
- Seasonings like Tajín Clásico Seasoning and Tony’s Original Creole Seasoning
- Rice
- Rice noodles: When ordering Chinese takeout, just ask for rice rather than egg noodles
- Jelly: Typically made with pectin (to thicken) rather than gelatin
- Hummus
- French fries: If cooked in veggie oil, then they are vegan!
- Oatmeal: When made with water or non-dairy milk
- Bagels

Please note:
- We have not included the obvious plant foods in the list above (fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, dried fruit, nuts, pickled vegetables, olives, etc.), but they are most definitely vegan!
- Ingredients can vary from brand to brand, so do not assume just because an item is vegan in one store that, it will also be in another.
