Ep. 71 | How To Spot Sneaky Animal-Based Ingredients Hidden in ‘Plant-Based’ Food Products – Milk & Dairy

Even if you don’t have a cow’s milk food allergy, it’s hard to miss the fact that many commercially processed food products sold contain cow’s milk-based ingredients in them. That’s because dairy is commonly used by manufacturers to make many of their food products more appealing and taste better. Just think of butter cookies, milk chocolate bars, mac and cheese box kits, hot chocolate drink mixes, and goldfish crackers. Sometimes it seems like milk is used in nearly everything! 

But when you’re trying to move into a full plant-based diet lifestyle or a vegan diet, navigating the commercial foods landscape can get tricky. That’s why I want to help. In this episode, I’ll show you how to easily spot common dairy-based ingredient terms on product packages with real-life examples. Let’s save you precious time and energy when grocery shopping, so you can move smoother and faster into a plant-powered lifestyle. Ready? Let’s dive in!
