College campus sucks at being educated about veganism…?
So my college campus’s dining hall usually has plant-based desserts in addition to regular. Today, I noticed that the signage said there was “vegan pumpkin blondies”, yet it was marked vegetarian and in the ingredients, milk is used. This is so bizarre to me as I’ve eaten them before and never noticed milk in the ingredients unless I just overlooked them?
On top of that, the CampusDish app my college uses marked their General Tso sauce as vegan, yet when I looked at Minor’s Food Service’s website (I think that’s the brand they use) they mark it as vegetarian but the ingredients don’t look like they have animal products? I’m so confused. I’ve trusted my dining hall when it came to claiming whether foods were vegetarian or vegan and now I feel worried I accidentally consumed animal products. Do I need to be more thorough next time?
Update: I told one of the dining hall staff and he said it’s most likely almond milk and that the way the guy typed it can be confusing and he’ll let their supervisor know.
