What needs attention
- DoubtfulFlavourings
The word "flavouring" does not say what a flavour is made from or dissolved in. Most are plant-based or synthetic, but some are carried in alcohol or glycerol of unstated source, and a few contain animal ingredients. Doubtful unless the pack says plant-based or alcohol-free, or shows a halal logo.
- DoubtfulCheese
Depends on the rennet. Many UK supermarket cheddars use microbial rennet and are labelled vegetarian; Parmesan and Grana Padano always use animal rennet.
Full ingredient list
Rehydrated textured SOYA protein (65%), rapeseed oil, onion, mozzarella cheese (MILK) (9%), stabiliser: methyl cellulose; chickpea flour, flavourings, yeast extract, garlic purée, malted BARLEY extract, onion powder, salt, garlic powder.
