I hate to be this guy. And I apologize. However they are likely referring to the dairy that traditionally comes in mashed potatoes.
You’re 100% right but these should be called vegan if thats the case
It literally says vegan right on the package….
How can you tell?
Exactly. This is mashed potatoes made without (cow) butter.
And (cow) milk.
How has several people forgotten that in these comments?
Techniclly Plant Based could still include non-plant ingredients tho, or it would just be plant…
Sure but shouldn’t they say something along those lines. This is just silliness of you ask me.
Dairy free would be a nice way of saying it that gets straight to the point. My gf is lactose intolerant and wow does it ever make shopping difficult. There’s dairy in fucking everything! There was dairy in the goddamn meatballs I bought last week. WTF
IIRC “dairy free” can still have lactose in it in the US just as an FYI
Well thats even more fucked up. It’s kind of sad that it seems believable to me too
Whereas “non-dairy” can still be cow milk derived as long as the lactose has been removed
Yeah it’s crazy annoying and stupid smh
But remember, calling plant based products “milk” would be too confusing for the poor consumers! /s
I mean, yeah, this probably seems silly to most, but as a guy who’s allergic to dairy this makes me pretty happy. All the plant based stuff coming out has been a godsend.
It’s probably in reference to the butter
And the milk.
And my axe
Most mashed potato recipes include milk and butter.
I welcome the opportunity to tell my favorite vegetarian story. Years ago, PETA went around elementary schools to promote meat-free diets. The local news channel followed and broadcast this interview:
Reporter: Did you learn a lot about vegetables?
5-year-old: Vegetables are good.
R: What’s your favorite vegetable?
5: Chicken!That child’s name? Todd Ingram.
The name implies there are meat-based potatoes … so where are they! 😤
Running the government
I like you….
I mean, yeah this labeling seems redundant but as a vegan living in the U.S, where everything is made with low quality dairy or eggs whenever it’s remotely possible to do so… I appreciate the effort.
I just want that heart shaped V on all the vegan packages and then a vegan only section so I don’t have to shop the regular food isles. 1 stop shop.
This flies in the face of supermarket design. They want you to get milk from the far corner, then head to the opposite corner for bread before dragging the kids past an isle of crappy toys and sugar flavoured food substances.
I finally understand why management hated my product display placements when I worked in a store. They were entirely unwilling to explain and preferred to give me shit and expectef me to just know.
The last job I worked before going back into the trades was at a grocery store and we sold “Plant Based Rice”
Lemmy moment
The problem isn’t the name the problem is that it’s ready made mash potatoes. Like come on bruv who’s buying this??
Mashed potatoes are super easy to make for 20 people and kind of a labor intensive pain in the arse for single people by comparison.
Oh, you wanna see it?
*Unzips potato
Sometimes I feel like I am the meat potato
The meat potato is the guy who buys this
