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
- Ketchup
- Mustard: whether it’s Dijon, wholegrain, English or American
- Hot sauces like Tabasco, Frank’s and Sriracha
- Rice
- Rice noodles: when ordering a Chinese takeaway, 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!

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