If I am lacto-ovo vegetarian, can I eat chicken flavoured chips and other chicken flavoured things?
Chicken flavoring almost always comes from chicken broth/stock, which is the bones, some pieces of meat, and sinew all boiled in a pot with some seasonings and then that’s dehydrated to get a powder which can be used in things like making a broth or put in various products. They do this to get a chicken flavor. That’s what chicken flavoring is. Rarely, you’ll find a chicken flavor that just uses stuff like MSG and sometimes soy sauce with some spices to get a chicken flavor without having any chicken in there. Like anything, you’ll have to read the recipes. Best bet: don’t buy anything flavored like an animal.
