Sounds vegan to me, most definetily vegitarian. The chicken flavoring is natural. Look up the ingrediants on Google.

"Natural Flavor Chicken Style" sets off alarms. Many vegans will tell you to stay away from "natural-" or "artificial flavor" because it may come from an animal. "Chicken Style" makes me think it is poultry-based. Also, don't trust labels like "vegan" on products if you are really strict about being a vegan; many companies may not know or care what vegan is, exactly. It's about the money to them.

It's possibly MSG that is the "chicken-style" flavouring. It makes things taste meaty, even though it's foul.

Isn't MSG artificial salt that like cuts your lifespan by half and causes cancer?

I was told by my aunt (who is a nurse) that msg will cause reactions in people that are sensitive to it, like dizziness and stuff, but that it does not cause cancer or any serious problem like that.

If you want to know more, you can always google it.

I'd be worried about the flavoring, but the other stuff seems fine. Maybe you could send the company an email to find out.

Yup. I've had a reaction to it more than once so I'm not allowed near the stuff - racing heart and feeling like I was going to pass out. Not worth the hassle of eating it!
