Ep. 66 | How To Spot Sneaky Animal-Based Ingredients Hidden in ‘Plant-Based’ Food Products – Meats & Fish

Walk into any grocery store, and it’s natural to assume that most of the products being sold on shelves around us would be free from animal-based ingredients – such as cookies, soups, canned beans, noodles and breads. These are not in the refrigerated meats section and don’t seem to be made with fish, beef, pork, or poultry, so they’re obviously vegan or 100% plant-based, right?

Wrong. Manufacturers can turn animal-based fats and proteins into many forms, so many commercially processed food products can contain animal-derived ingredients. And it’s often without us realizing it, unless we know where and what to look for.

That’s why I wanted to do this episode. I’ll give you top tips that’ll help you spot meat and fish-based ingredients used in commercial food products more quickly. You’ll then be able to make smarter shopping decisions and move with more confidence towards a plant-powered lifestyle. Listen in!
