The bacon flavoured powder is just salt and spices. I double and triple checked. It is vegan, halal, and kosher.
I had people over to my house to play board games last weekend. It was z potluck and BYOB but we provided snacks.
One of the snacks was popcorn and one of the flavour powders we had was "bacon". We also had cheese and salt and vinegar. We had butter and margarine for anyone who wanted as well.
One of my boyfriend's friends is vegan and so is his partner. We made sure there were vegan snacks.
Both of them loved the bacon flavoured popcorn until someone told them what it was.
Once again the popcorn was 100% vegan. Popped in canola oil and with vegan flavour.
Both of them went off on us for serving them meat. I explained that the flavour was just salt and spices but they only got louder. I eventually got sick of their shit and pulled out the container of powder and asked them what ingredient they objected to. They read the label and went red faced. They said I wasn't clear when I said it was "just flavour". I'm pretty sure that is a full explanation and I said so. I asked them why they couldn't ask to see the package before scarfing down bags of popcorn.
They called me an asshole and left. My boyfriend thinks I was harsh. I think they are idiots.
