      1. Hi there! Thank you so much. I have tried this chocolate... it is really nice. Thanks for pasting the ingredients and giving the exact brand name and label. Makes it so much easier! :)

      2. Moser Dark Chocolate states 'may contain milk' so is NOT Vegan!

        Delete
      3. Hi there,
        'May contain milk' does not always necessarily mean that a product isn't vegan. Generally, what this means is that the product has been created on an assembly line alongside other products which do contain milk, or perhaps created using the same machinery.

    3. Hi!
      Great list.
      You have listed the Thai red curry paste. I have seen it comes in green and yellow too. Are these not vegan? I thought they were. Or did I miss something?

    4. Hi, the Bramwell's peanut butter may be vegan but it contains palm oil so should be on the ban list IMO.

      1. I recently asked about the peanut butter...
        "... ALDI Australia. This product does contain Palm Oil. However the Palm Oil is Certified Sustainable under RSPO. Thanks for posting.

    16. HI, do you know if the moser roth 70% is still vegan? i read from another source that it used to be but now isn't. looking at the ingredients it contains cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, emulsifier (322 from soy), vanilla extract
      it does say may contain gluten cereals, milk, peanuts and tree nuts but i'm assuming that's just to cover themselves?!

    28. Does anyone know if Sprinters BBQ chips are vegan? They have 330,631,627 and 160c. It also says they are vegetarian.

    29. Unfortunately nearly everything that appears to be vegan at aldi contains "vegetable oil", which is more than likely palm oil (the main reason the term vegetable oil is used, is to hide that it is palm oil).
      Their new vegan coconut products use coconuts sourced from Indonesia and are highly likely to be picked by slave monkeys, who were often abducted from their mothers while nursing, their mothers killed in the process.
