When people think of veganism, they often consider the limited food options or having a diet that consists entirely of vegetables.\n
However, that\u2019s not true at all!\n
In fact, there are a lot of food products that you probably consume now which are vegan, but you just don\u2019t know it.\n
Take a look at the list below of surprising foods you didn\u2019t know were vegan \u2013 chances are, you\u2019ve eaten most of them!\n
\n
This deliciously salty chip consists of entirely simple ingredients, which you\u2019ll see are all totally vegan!\n
There are only 3 things to Fritos: corn, corn oil, and salt.\n
However, due to variations in flavors, not all of the other assortments are vegan.\n
So when it comes to adding some variety to your chips, be sure to take a look at the ingredients on the other Fritos flavors.\n
Along with the original Fritos flavor, other vegan Fritos include Fritos scoops and Fritos BBQ.\n
\n
Most people tend to think that pudding isn\u2019t vegan because of the dairy involved.\n
However, if you make Jell-O Pudding with non-dairy milk, then you have nothing to worry about!\n
It is important to note, the instructions tell you to use full-fat milk, otherwise, your pudding will be runny \u2013 which is true.\n
So when you want to make your pudding vegan friendly, use half as much of your preferred non-dairy milk, and everything will be fine!\n
Additionally, keep in mind that only certain flavors of the actual Jell-O powder are completely vegan: vanilla, chocolate, lemon, pistachio, and banana.\n
To make it even better, not only are they vegan, but these flavors are also gluten-free and soy-free.\n

If you have a craving for chocolate, don\u2019t worry because Hershey\u2019s Chocolate syrup is vegan-friendly!\n In total, they have 3 syrup flavors: original chocolate, strawberry, and caramel.\n Of the 3 flavors, only the original chocolate and strawberry syrup is free of animal dairy products.\n Their caramel flavor, however, contains skim milk and therefore is not vegan, of course.\n So next time you want some tasty and delicious yet animal-friendly chocolate flavoring, look no further than the classic chocolate brand, Hershey\u2019s!\n You might think that due to the buttery taste of Ritz crackers that they must contain dairy or some other form of animal products.\n But surprisingly, the outside coating is made from oils and fats that come from soybeans!\n Along with the ingredients, there are no animal products used at any time during the production.\n Similar to some of the previous products mentioned, they have a variety of flavors that are also vegan, such as roasted vegetable crackers, whole wheat crackers, and bacon crackers.\n Yup \u2013 the bacon-flavored Ritz has no animal products either!\n Craving pancakes? If you\u2019re to follow the instructions, adding milk and eggs will obviously add animal products.\n But if you find substitutes, such as almond milk or replacing the eggs with bananas, these three pancake mixes on their own are totally vegan.\n When you break it down to the ingredients, it\u2019s surprisingly simple \u2013 these mixes mostly consist of flour, sugar, leavening mixture, and salt.\n In general, most pancake mixtures will already have buttermilk, which is what sets these three vegan-friendly mixtures apart from the others.\n Vegans crave lollies too \u2013 which is where Dum Dums come in!\n There are 16 flavors of Dum Dums, along with the core seven flavors of lemon, lime, orange, coconut-pineapple, cherry, grape, and butterscotch.\n But even in the large variety of flavors, they come in, none of them contain animal products.\n Most of the ingredients are artificial, as well as sugar and coloring.\n Additionally, they contain no wheat or gluten either.\n Gluten-free vegan suckers? Count me in!\n This classic American snack is a symbol of a millennial\u2019s childhood.\n Personally, I was always excited to eat Cracker Jacks specifically for the prize inside! But little did I know, I was eating a vegan snack.\n With the outside caramel coating, you might think this crunchy mixture would contain butter \u2013 but it\u2019s just sugar, corn syrup, molasses, and soybean oil.\n And of course, the popcorn and nut pieces are just that \u2013 popcorn and nuts!\n If you don\u2019t think Skittles are vegan, you\u2019re not entirely wrong.\n They used to contain animal products, and there may still be some Skittles products in circulation from the old, non-vegan batches.\n Luckily, these days they are now prominently vegan, though you should still check the packaging just in case.\n If the packaging says \u201csuitable for vegetarians,\u201d then you should find a different package!\n Otherwise, most of the flavors will be safe for you to enjoy the rainbow!\nRitz Crackers\n
