traces…or half a shark if you get a duff bag

If it were a quarter of a shark it would be almost vegan if that shark was on Finding Nemo. Fish are friends, not food!

I don’t have any fish friends - apart from Michael. But yeah, I don’t eat 'em.

Also I keep reading this as “half a shark in a duffel bag” - is this why you no longer have fish friends lol
But yeah if we are talking traces like the odd scale got caught up in a whole batch I’d feel much safer than a single bag with a whole ground prawn in it sort of thing.
I guess I’m going to have to trust it and try. Very nervous about it though and yeah again buy your kelp from someone who doesn’t mix fish in on accident lol

“After all, it is possible for companies to create chocolate on dairy-free premises, it is just more expensive for them to do so. But if you are a company selling vegan products, you should adhere to a higher standard”.

And from the same piece:
“This is about avoiding animal ingredients as far as is possible and practical. When harvesting crops, there will be some cross contamination with insects, despite best industry practices being in place. It’s not desirable, but it’s unavoidable.”
Personally, as long as Huel tries not to harm animals as much as it can, I’m fine with unwittingly eating 0.0001% of an unlucky prawn that was sleeping in the kelp farm.

Harvesting the raw materials used in Huel will doubtless cause innocent creatures to be harmed. Digging up your organic potatoes will inadvertently harm a worm one day…they are long and wriggly and get in the way of a sharp spade.
Vegans do the best they can…which is generally arguing with bacon trolls on Facebook.

I haven’t that term before. Are they like mutant gammons?
Exactly. They eat ground up bits of pig arseholes and sawdust that is then encased in a sheep’s intestine and wrapped in slices of dead pig as a festive treat. Renowned for their red faces and desire to get Brexit dung (whatever that is).

Better than people who claim to be vegan/vegetarian but eat fish like a fish is a subspecies of carrot.
I guess it’s more concerning that they can’t wash kelp properly than anything. I’m not vegan but allergic - their wording just seems hypocritical.
I get animals and bugs etc will be hurt by food production of any kind, lots of small animals get caught in combines - FYI baby deer are a pain in the arse to get out of a combine - but yep it happens.
I imagine it’s a heads up because it could possibly at some point happen so their lawyers made them add it, like most food plants have a tolerance of bug parts per batch (yes spiders are in your chocolate bars) so would be interested in the tolerance for fish parts I guess.
Traces - fine, but if it’s half a shark in a duffel bag and I hope they recall that lol
Still seems like it shouldn’t be called vegan if there is a solid chance of animal parts in the food itself though.

To be fair food labelling is a lot better in the UK than in the US. They stick any old bollocks in their food (literally in many cases). The EU is far more stringent than US FDA. Still we’ll soon be out of the EU and anything will go…chlorinated chicken sounds delish.

I moved to the UK from the US, they dont even have to list things below a certain % in things for most states except nuts, has been killing people for years but We MuSt PrOTeCT oUr ReCIpeS!! I was having allergic reactions weekly, where here I get one once every 6 months or so and normally due to my own stupidity.
Leaving the EU without guides in place for things like this is going to be a shitshow.

Most of their nuts have guns. That’s what kills the most people. If they want the right to bare arms they just need to wear wifebeaters rather than carry assault rifles.

Hello there. I’m the pun inspector. I’ve just done an audit and you have exceeded your 2019 pun allocation by 700%. To repay your debt you must go to the Christmas Cracker Workhouse and put your talents to good use.

Absolutely. Also its Bear Arms, but all those poor bears…
I never understood why assault rifles and anti aircraft guns are just as legal as a standard shotgun. People say for some defense but if you need regular access to an AK47 and 12.7 M2 Browning it may be time to move to a new neighbourhood…
Especially if you have half a shark in a duffel bag full of Christmas crackers.
FWIW kinder eggs are illegal in the US but kids with guns are totally fine. FREEDOM.

I knew that really, yet nearly every day I see someone say “bare with me” and they aren’t in a nudist colony.

They’re normally people you’d not want in a nudist colony. Like if people want to be naked fine but a little grooming and a bath is a good call for anyone naked or not.
Also on the topic of allergies there is some more info here on results if anyone else is looking: https://uk.huel.com/pages/food-safety-and-quality-controls

You can get in trouble for that.

I turn my back for five minutes and there’s a paedo pun and an attempt to get back on topic. Disgraceful behaviour, both of you.
