Nesquik Chocolate Milk Slices 26 g, 4 Count (Pack of 1)

Product Information

Unfortunately though, there is no getting away from the sheep-derived vitamin D, even if it is the only definitely non-vegan ingredient included in the Nesquik powders in the UK. This is a shame for vegans who used to like Nesquik. Especially those who thought they could just make it with oat milk and be fine. But fear not, there are plenty of vegan-friendly alternatives to Nesquik, which we’ll investigate later. Are Any Nesquik Products Vegan? Nesquik All Natural Cocoa Powder– Contains just five ingredients: Raw Cane Sugar (62%), Fat Reduced Cocoa Powder (36%), Emulsifier (Soya Lecithin), Natural Flavouring, Cinnamon. There is a chance that the “natural flavouring” could contain animal products. We are awaiting confirmation on this point from Nestlé and will update the article accordingly. But it looks as though this product should be vegan friendly.

The answer is, unfortunately, no, Nesquik is not vegan. At least the standard Nesquik powder products aren’t vegan. And we’ve heard that from the horse’s mouth (also known as Nestlé Consumer Engagement Services – see below). But there are two Nesquik products that are vegan – or at least that don’t contain non-vegan ingredients: Strawberry Syrup– Sugar, Water, Corn syrup, Less than 2% of malic acid, Propylene glycol alginate, Artificial flavour, Potassium sorbate (preservative), Xantham gum, Red 40, Blue 1, Salt, Yellow 6. As such, using wool products or products derived from wool can serve to promote such cruelty. Assuming you agree that wool is not vegan, then you would also agree with us (and Nestlé themselves) that Nesquik is not vegan. What Is Nesquik? Nesquik Choc Pots– These chocolate desserts contain milk (in various forms) and so they are not vegan friendly.

Hopefully that answers your query but why not read on anyway as we explain a little more about what Nesquik is and what else would cause most of the Nesquik products to be unsuitable for vegans (aside from the vitamin D). Note that we have focussed on the main Nesquik powders in this article but we will also look at some of the other Nesquik-branded products as well. What Nestlé Said About Nesquik Powder It is common for companies to not state their products are vegan in such cases. For instance, Oreos would be vegan were it not for the chance of cross-contamination in their factory. Of course, many vegans will be fine with products that don’t contain animal-derived ingredients despite the risk of contamination with milk products (although those with sever allergies should of course be more careful).

Vegan Alternatives to Nesquik

However, there are serious question marks over the safety of some of those artificial colours. Notably, Red 40 has been linked with allergic reactions and even the development of ADHD in children by the Center for Science in the Public Interest. These syrups might be a way for vegans to get their Nesquik hit, but alarm bells are sure to ring. Other Nesquik Products
