Sadly, Oreos appear to no longer be vegan - at least in right now, in Germany. For foods like cookies, instant noodles, and similar foods that are usually made in huge factories with a lot of other products, you'd see a note telling that the product may contain traces of xyz. A couple years back, you'd see that note on a pack of Oreos, ie. "may contain traces of milk" and possibly some nuts or something. These days, it says "may contain milk" which is an important distinction to make. Apparently, the factory gives themselves the leeway to substitute parts of the vegan ingredients with non-vegan ones if it's more financially viable to them. The usual formula might be vegan, but you'd have no way of knowing if this particular batch happens to not have any non-vegan ingredients in them

To be a little pedantic: That's just plant-based...ism? Veganism isn't inherently about food (although that is a big part of it ofc :3 )

It's called "creme" because there's no cream involved, and regular chocolate is inherently vegan.

I’m still mad at nabisco for adding soy to the Oreo recipe. And Nilla wafers.

They were my only safe cookies I didn’t have to bake myself and weren’t exorbitantly priced like “organic” brands. Now I have to pay like $8+ for a tiny pack of off brand “sandwich cookies” 😭

Fairly certain Oreos are made with non vegan sugar.
