Jus-Rol pastry

[Blueberry]

I don't know the most relevant place to post this, and I didn't want it to get stuck in the Morrison's thread, but when I was in there today I picked up som Jus-rol puff pastry sheets... not the square polythene pack but a long, green cardboard box, and they are now vegan. The other three Jus-rol pastry products are not vegan, but that one definitely is. Going to make roasted vegetable tarts with mine!

I'm sure this will be moved to the most relevant place!

I think quite a lot of their pastry is vegan, Blueberry - although they definitely make some that isn't as well. Not sure how up-to-date this is:

Thanks for that Harpy, but they all say L-Cysteine on the packaging, except for the one I bought today, and fatty acids, which I assumed would say "vegetable fatty acids" if they were vegan? Don't forget, I'm a new vegan, so could be over cautious!

Quite a lot are listed on the Vegan Society's Animal-Free Shopper web-site

...but you're probably wise to be cautious.

Edited to add that L-Cysteine is on their list of ingredients that can be either animal-derived or not http://www.vegansociety.com/hubpage.aspx?id=72&terms=L-cysteine - so one assumes someone's checked in this instance!

I was thrilled when I discovered Jus-Rol was vegan - it was nothing but pesto/roast veg tarts for a week or so :P

They really are fantastic and so versatile and so on, really easy to use. I <3 them big time :)

I'm still very cautious and I've been a Vegan over a year now..I'll have to look out for those Jus-rol puff pastry sheets and pick some up.. ;)

You should Savegan, I've used the puff pastry, filo pastry and shortcrust before now....all very exciting, if you like that sort of thing :D

Aha. I knew that both types of puff pastry were vegan, but I hadn't noticed that they had slightly different ingredients. I was wondering why my sausage rolls were different when I used the sheets instead of the big block. I thought it must be something to do with the way I rolled it out :D
