Obviously I knew they weren’t vegan, but they aren’t vegetarian either (at least how I practice it). They have enzymes (Folic Acid specifically) harvested from the stomach linings of slaughtered farm animals. Folic acid is able to be produced from plants or synthetically, but they explained in an email in 2018 (found here https://www.vegblogger.com/blog/2018/05/are-cheetos-vegetarian.html ) confirming theirs is from animal enzymes. I loved cheetos even after going vegetarian and scanned them with my FIG just for fun (since I can’t eat dairy anymore now) and sure enough found they’re not even vegetarian friendly 🙃
