Warum

The classic McVitie's digestive lists whole milk powder, which rules it out. Several supermarket own brands make an identical-tasting biscuit without dairy, so the answer is brand by brand rather than category-wide.

Worauf man auf dem Etikett achten sollte

  • The ingredient list on your own pack — Digestive biscuits recipes differ by country and change over time
  • Milk, whey, casein, lactose, egg, honey, gelatin, carmine (E120) and shellac (E904) in the list
  • "May contain milk" is an allergen cross-contamination note, not an ingredient — most vegans still buy it

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Is Digestive biscuits certified vegan?

Certification is separate from the recipe. Many products with no animal ingredients carry no vegan mark because the maker will not rule out shared production lines. Check the pack for a registered vegan trademark, and treat the ingredient list as the primary evidence.

Does the answer change between countries?

Often, yes. The same brand name can use different fats, emulsifiers, colours or whey depending on the plant that made it, so always read the local label rather than an answer written for another market.
