[This discussion](https://www.reddit.com/r/vegetarian/comments/11ws70q/anyone_keep_forgetting_a_particular_food_isnt/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) made me think of this once more.
Nowadays there’s the occasional [“Vegan” or “Vegetarian”](https://www.v-label.com/) label on a package, which is helpful, but even that’s often missing. Like in some noodles that are supposedly chicken or beef-flavored, but don’t actually contain those animals.
Honestly it would just be easier if all *meat* products were labeled, because obviously there are many more food items out there without anything animal-derived. There could be a label for meat, for fish, for eggs, for dairy, for other animal byproducts like gelatin. It would save me a lot of time I spend squinting at the ingredients list and googling whether additive E635 is animal-based or not.
