    yeah, all the Grassingtons products sold round here have some form of dairy in them.

    I was going to come on here and tell you all about a voucher I got for Grassington's new "Gardein" range (all vegan! finally my heart won't have to automatically sink when I see there's only Grassington's stuff in the vegetarian section because there might be something beside beanburgers, if I'm lucky, in it. Actually, I can't remember the last time I saw Grassington beanburgers, it's nearly always the non vegan stuff...but I digress...)
    Posted in the 'Special Deals' thread - so it looks like a new range or a change of recipe.

    They seem to have made major changes to their products recently and actually make comments about vegan suitability on their website which they never did before. Plus they have the whole new Gardein based range which is all vegan stuff. Looks good !

    Ive not been to Morrisons since ours closed but went to the new store today - first impressions not good as was meant to meet Dad in the vege area but had to walk past the fish counter to get in and it stank

    There were some good vegan options - the tomato and garlic bread, the organic chilli/casserole/bolognaise meals and tofu is on buy one get one free and is only £1.09,found the Grassingtons range - got the 'meat balls' and a kiev/fillet to try, found some gnocci that was ok too.

    I asked the baker about the own breads he said they dont use milk/egg but there is a risk of traces/cross contamination, the speciality breads are brought in so couldnt tell me if they were ok, but said own basic bakery ranges are vegan as far as he knows

    Not tried Grassingtons before but good to see vegan on the label

    I was not impressed having to get my vege shopping with the smell of the fish counter in the air then there was a meat counter and a deli counter at the end! The veggie/vegan items were near the meat deli area.

    The baker I spoke to yesterday said Morrisons have yet to add ingredients lists and suitable for veggies/vegans on their own brand bakery ranges, be nice if the doughnuts were vegan but id check it out with the bakery - high time they started a vegan list in Morrisons

    Have found a great range of herbs in Morrisons (they may do them elsewhere, don't know). Four little plastic pots that go together,eg Italien, Thai, mexican. They have all the stranger herbs/ spices in. Thai has Lemongrass powder, Kaffir lime, chillis and Galangal. The mexican is even better. They are £1.79 - £2, but definately worth it. They are by the generic herby bit.

    I saw in Morrisons Cafe today that they are starting to do a Spinach and Lentil burger, i did ask the nice but slightly....slow, staff if they had an ingredient list or if they knew it was vegan. Alas i must now ask the forum if they are aware of this andif it is vegan. I will e-mail Morrisons anyway but not too hopeful as they are crap at responding to Vegany questions.

    Will be interested to hear if they respond to questions about specific products, please share if they do! I just contacted to ask if they produce a vegan list (even though I know they don't - it shows demand) and they responded just saying no, they don't produce one. Wondered if they had a stock answer about lack of demand or anything like that, but apparently not.

    Thank you for your request for a list of vegan products sold at Morrisons. I am afraid that we do not produce such a list so it is not possible for us to forward one to you. I am sorry that we cannot be of more help on this occasion.

    Not sure if this has been mentioned but I think Morrison's ginger buns are vegan, their almond squares used to be too but now have whey in. For me Morrisons are one of the best supermarkets for vegans, even if they dont publish a list, I tend to read everything anyway, they used to sell sosmix and chicken style bake! And the Safeways which was acquired by Morrisons used to do loads of treats including vegan jelly babies years ago. The other northern shop Home Bargains also has some vegan treats and generally will stock shampoos and toiletries that are crualty free and obviously very,very cheap!

    I emailed them too and got a response about not producing a list. It's my local store, although we do have a Co-op too and so I've started looking there as their labelling is great. My partner pointed out that Morrison's would be unlikely to be too pro-vegan, as their history is butchery. But then Asda used to be Associated Dairies and was started by two farmers and they seem to be ok with it!

    They sell vegideli beef and vegideli sage n onion slices, 1 pound a pack.
    The trek bars they sell are wondrous i must confess..2 brands of this stuff .
    Great vegan stuff.

    I was getting worried recently, as we have started to do some of our shopping at Morrisons - Cheezly, Pure slices, vegan frozen mince, Redwood VegiDeli slices. Marvellous!! Plus, a great choice in their 'healthy and free from' section!

    The worry was because, over the last few weeks, I couldn't get any of the Pure cheese slices. And now there is no label on the shelf! So I emailed Morrisons, and this is the email I just received:

    Dear ********

    Thank you for your enquiry into this department.

    With regards to the Pure Dairy Free Cheese Slices; I am pleased to say that this is a line which we still sell at Morrisons but are temporarily out of stock on at the moment in our Norwich branch.

    However, I have taken the liberty of contacting the store and I have asked them to order more stocks in as quickly as possible. You should find these back on the shelves over the coming week. Should you have any problems in locating them, please ask a member of staff.

    Once again thank you for contacting us and we look forward to serving you again soon in our Norwich store.

    Yours sincerely

    I so strongly dislike the Morrisons adverts on telly that I always said I wouldn't shop with them again (used to years ago), but we may be moving somewhere where it'll be our local supermarket. Hmm, may to have to think again, especially as they do seem to stock a lot of vegan products .

    I know - I always used to avoid Morrisons (mixture of ethics and snobbery) but it has proved to be pretty good for vegan choice. A big name supermarket that stocks vegan cheese - Cheezly, especially!! - and has vegan frozen mince ALWAYS on offer (2 for £3) and doesn't require a bus ride to get to it (just walking UP a big hill to go home after ).

    Unfortunately, no. I haven't seen a vegan label on anything. That's why I do prefer Sainsburys, as their labelling is brilliant. But, seeing from their email I received, they do appear to listen, so emailing them about it might help. I always live in hope - glass half full, an' all that! After all, they now stock Cheezly!

    Bought some Morrison's unsweetened soya milk yesterday that says 'vegan' on it. They have even cheaper soya milk that's just ok for veggies so I presume the vitamin D element is not ok for vegans and is from lanolin.

    Oh, and the price of their Redwood beef/sage & onion slices has gone up overnight from £1.15 to £1.37

    all that stuff has gone up a lot lately, LV, I think maufacturers/suppliers are using the VAT increase as a chance/reason/excuse to put EVERYTHING up!. We are having to re-price almost everything where I work, Vat-able or non.

    Morrisons is horrible, I'd only shop there as a last resort. Several times they've done offers of a free chicken corpse with a certain spend amount (£30?). Up until recently they didn't even have an email address. Don't bother trying to ask them if their own brand products are vegan or not either, they don't know and don't care.

    They've stocked cheezly for years, it's nothing special, pretty much all supermarkets of a decent size do.

    And these vegi slices I dont buy now due to incessant price increases..supermarket robbery..at Morrisons.And another thing.When I wrote to them last May with a series of questions/comments on vegan scran, my letter was ignored.
    They are dreadful.
