    Default Would you buy a vegan product made in a factory that produced non-vegan food ?

    It said on the side that, it was made in a factory that produced some non-vegan food?
    I have been having a delima with this for a month or two.
    I always like canned food, or food that I can make with in reasonable amount of time.
    But I have noticed that on the side next to the ingredients it says,"Individuals with food allergies: This product is manufactured in a facility
    that produces foods containing wheat,MILK,soy,tree nuts,and seeds."
    Would you still buy it?
    Would it be a question of ethics or politics?
    Or would you worry about cross contamination?
    Please, let me know what you think.

    Maybe at least the following two threads can help Absolute_Zero.

    Trace amounts: "Manufactured in a facility that also..." http://veganforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=923

    erm yeah i would still buy it as i think its more to do with litigation culture and although cross contamination is a risk its a small risk. and considering my faltmates put meat in the same fridge as my food and we use the same oven i'm at risk of contamination anyway. yuck!

    i do because im not eating animal products, its just more of a legal issue. they clean equipment between products, but they have to say that because obviously if people have allergies they might get sick which is im sure extremely rare as they clean the equipment.
