Struggling to find vegan foods at the supermarket? There are actually plenty of foods you might not know are vegan. You may have some of them in your kitchen right now, or have been eating them for years!
What are accidentally vegan foods?
Accidentally vegan food is food that was not produced specifically for the vegan market, but happens to be vegan because they do not contain any meat, dairy, eggs or other animal-derived products. Lots of foods you eat every day are accidentally vegan, including many breads, pastas, crackers, and cereals.
You might be surprised to learn some of the following foods are vegan-friendly.

original oreos
Made without animal-derived ingredients, original flavour Oreos and are safe to eat for vegans. If you have a dairy allergy, keep in mind that they are made in facilities that handle milk.

No gelatin (aka ground up animals bones) in these babies! Any of the sour patch range is good to go.
nutTelex
An obvious one for some, but for many this was a household ‘buttery’ staple they never thought of as vegan.
Crumpets
Most store-bought crumpets are vegan. Served warm with Nuttelex? Yes please.
LOTUS biscoff spread
*Warning, highly addictive.
Doritos
Original, spicy sweet chilli, and tortilla corn chips flavours are good to go. Party snacks sorted.
raisin toast
Most store-bought fruit or raisin toast is vegan-friendly, like Tip Top. I am obsessed with fruit toast for breakfast!
vegetable spring rolls
Large packs of vegetable spring rolls from Coles or Woolworths are vegan friendly. Perfect for large get togethers or lazy dinners.
