I hate to be this guy. And I apologize. However they are likely referring to the dairy that traditionally comes in mashed potatoes.

[-] RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 years ago

Exactly. This is mashed potatoes made without (cow) butter.

[-] M137@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

And (cow) milk.

How has several people forgotten that in these comments?

[-] zardoz@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

Sure but shouldn’t they say something along those lines. This is just silliness of you ask me.

[-] Broken_Monitor@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

Dairy free would be a nice way of saying it that gets straight to the point. My gf is lactose intolerant and wow does it ever make shopping difficult. There’s dairy in fucking everything! There was dairy in the goddamn meatballs I bought last week. WTF

[-] TheaoneAndOnly27@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Was it like whey protein in the meatballs? Wtf would dairy be used for in meatballs.....

[-] Zorque@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Maybe they shouldn't buy cheesy meatballs if they don't want dairy in it...

[-] Broken_Monitor@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yup that was exactly it.

[-] WldFyre@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

IIRC "dairy free" can still have lactose in it in the US just as an FYI

[-] Broken_Monitor@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Well thats even more fucked up. It’s kind of sad that it seems believable to me too

[-] Emma_Gold_Man@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Whereas "non-dairy" can still be cow milk derived as long as the lactose has been removed

[-] WldFyre@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah it's crazy annoying and stupid smh

But remember, calling plant based products "milk" would be too confusing for the poor consumers! /s

[-] Zorque@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

They do. They say it's plant based. Are you not paying attention?

[-] Serpent@feddit.uk 7 points 2 years ago

I think plan based is the product line. So anything in that product line won't have animal products in it and is safe for vegans.

[-] kttnpunk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

If only. Plant-based, in practice as a label (based off my experiences as a American vegan) just means exactly that. It's mostly plant. I got some plant-based burgers one time and was disgusted when I found out egg was used as the binder. Advertising is evil.

[-] Knusper@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Thing is, this seems silly until you actually try to eat a vegan diet. One time I bought pickles, thinking it's literally cucumbers, vinegar and spices, there's no way this couldn't be vegan.

Nope, it came with honey. And it tasted like dogshit, so I don't know why they put it in there, but they sure did.

[-] qupada@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

Same probably goes for this one I found at my local supermarket: https://i.imgur.com/aMDLCM2.jpg

I maintain that no reasonable person should ever call a product with sour cream in it "guacamole", but I presume that's the ingredient they're trying to identify is definitely not included.

My wife buys plant based falafels made with sweet potato or beetroot, as if chickpeas were meat 🤷

[-] Seudo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Techniclly Plant Based could still include non-plant ingredients tho, or it would just be plant...
