Non Vegan Ingredients Spicy, tangy, sweet, peppery. Any true Asian knows that bold flavours are at the heart of a delicious bowl of steaming instant noodles. KOKA Signature is the perfect union of Singapore’s favourite herbs and spices with her best-loved local dishes.

This is not the case at this moment in time for Batchelors Products due to our current manufacturing processes and operations where we manufacture products that do contain ingredients of animal origin and products that do not.” KOKA also have a KOKA Signature (Authentic Singapore), KOKA delight (low-fat), KOKA Silk (gluten free) and KOKA Purple Wheat (Antioxidant) range of noodles. [6] Many vegan cook books include variations of pot noodles, and they are usually far tastier than the originals truth be told! This is because you can add various fresh ingredients instead of having to rely on dehydrated ones. You can also tailor your pot noodle to your taste in terms of the spices you add.

But there is nothing present there that is definitely not vegan. The other possibility, as with Pot Noodles, is the possibility of cross-contamination during the manufacturing process. Many of them carry warnings such as “May also contain Crustaceans, Fish, Milk, Molluscs”, any of which would make them non-vegan. But many vegans disregard such warnings (though if you have allergic reactions to any of these things, it is better to avoid the products in question). This will come as a major disappointment to many vegans who used to be quite partial to a Sweet and Sour or Beef and Tomato Pot Noodle. Note that all standard Pot Noodle flavours are vegetarian (though some of their Pot Pasta, Pot Rice and Asian Street Style flavours are not). But, what is it that renders them non-vegan? Let’s find out! What Stops Pot Noodles Being Vegan? One thing the Miso Noodle flavour does not contain, though, is palm oil. Could this be the ingredient that Unilever think is stopping most Pot Noodles being vegan? We doubt it, as palm oil is actually classed as vegan by PETA.

In the meantime, here are the Super Noodles flavours that do not contain any obviously non-vegan ingredients (unless you consider palm oil to be non-vegan): Clearly, the big issue with this Pot Noodle flavour from a vegan perspective is the inclusion of milk-derived ingredients. But not all the Pot Noodle flavours that the makers Unilever suggest are non-vegan actually contain milk-based ingredients. Heavy - Active for much of the day, walking non-stop and carrying objects. Typical jobs: hospital/ward nurse, waitressing in a busy restaurant, cleaner, porter, labourer/construction worker, gardener, farm worker. Leisure Activity Level Light - Have a job that involves long periods of sitting (office-based / driving) or are home-based and sitting for much of the day. Typical jobs: office worker, sales rep, bus/taxi/lorry driver. KOKA's first spicy bowl series, a robust and rich broth paired with an addictive fiery taste! It's a perfect mix of flavours and spices with bouncy broad noodles.Here are the ingredients that either are definitely non-vegan or which might be non-vegan: Palm Oil / Palm Fat On the first point, there are various ingredients listed in most Pot Noodle flavours that could be derived from animals or which have used animals products during their manufacture. Asian Street Style Japanese Miso Noodle Soup Flavour If all that seems a little too much like hard work, you can of course simply buy any of the vegan-friendly options above. Pot Noodle & Super Noodles Conclusions For instance, the Beef and Tomato (which does not contain beef), Sweet and Sour, and Chinese Chow Mein flavours do not list milk or milk-derived items specifically amongst their ingredients. As such, there are two possible reasons why the makers of Pot Noodle do not claim most flavours to be vegan:

As with Pot Noodles, there are a few ingredients that could be considered non-vegan, such as palm oil or even the flour or sugar included (which might have used animal products during the manufacturing processes). There are also some ingredients that – vegan or not – you might not be too impressed by. Butylated Hydroxyanisole, has been assessed for health risks and it was concluded that it can be reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen, which is not ideal, especially if you are motivated by the health reasons for going vegan. Cross-Contamination Similar to the Pot Noodle Asian Street Style flavours, the vegan-friendly Naked Noodles are available in a number of flavours, including Korean Style BBQ Ramen Vegetable Pot, which is rather tasty. So, there we have it. The non-vegan flavours that do not obviously contain non-vegan ingredients might be okay for vegans after all… as long as you don’t mind the possible risk of cross-contamination (which presumably is not that high, though we can’t say for certain). Moderate - On your feet for much of the day, either standing or occasional slow paced walking. Typical jobs: shop assistant, teacher, chef/cook, bar worker, engineer.But if we take a look at a different flavour, in this case Chow Mein, things are not quite so obvious: Moderately active - Do light to moderate intensity exercise 3-4 times a week. E.g. going to the gym / swimming / cycling / horse riding / dance classes / playing golf. Daily dog walking (brisk pace, twice a day). Here’s an example of the type of thing you might like to try, but clearly you can experiment as you see fit and see what exciting flavour combinations you can come up with. Ingredients The thing is, the aforementioned Miso Soup flavour Pot Noodle also carries a warning that it “may contain egg and milk”, so it is unlikely to be the cross-contamination risk that is stopping the other flavours being presented as vegan. In truth, this is all very confusing and seemingly contradictory, because the Miso Soup product is certified as vegan and proudly sold as such. We suspect this may well be a similar scenario as M&S’s (in)famous vegan range which was controversially labelled with the same allergy warning in 2019. Inactive - Do very little exercise, going for the occasional walk (moderate pace, low intensity). Spend majority of leisure time doing activities such as watching TV, playing computer games, on the internet, reading, cooking, driving, general household chores.
