Can't work out why they're not vegan

[dropscone]

Who says they're not? What are the ingredients?

[Barefootinthegrass]

I thought they were...the original flavour, anyway?

Ingredients: Potato powder, sunflower oil, potato starch, salt, sugar, yeast extract, emulsifier:soya lecithin, spice.

i had just read somewhere that soy lecithin could be egg derived?? looks like its not from posts on this site.

Pom bears UK website explicitly says not suitable for vegans, but doesn't say why.

Could they just not have updated their table since reformulating?https://lucysfriendlyfoods.wordpress.com/2012/09/22/pom-bear-original-crisps-now-milk-free/ Best to write and ask, though.
