I am so sorry to hear that people were behaving that way towards you and I want you to know that I am sending some healing energy your way. I think that every vegan choice we make is impactful and we are all learning.

I’m surprised by the 1105. I have lists of all the numbers that I double check when I’m shopping and 1105, derived from mineral or vegetable sources it said, was on my vegan friendly list 😳😞

Hey @gracedocarmo, thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, in the case of Lysozyme (E1105), it’s almost always derived from chicken egg whites, unless the company has explicitly said it’s of vegan origins, in which case it can be synthesized in a lab. So, if we see a product that contains e1105, it’s best to err on the side of caution and ask the company before buying

Two minutes into this app and already so much learned. Never understood these e-numbers. So useful.

I have never seen or heard of E-numbers, can anyone elaborate if this is a number that appears on the barcode or ingredients list?

Hi @giselledanny! Thanks for your comment. You'd usually find the e-numbers listed in the ingredient list

First time hearing about E numbers but now that I am aware I am gonna read the labels even more carefully.

Umm, sheep don't shed their wool naturally? Shepherds have always had to cut their wool off?

Useful, and saved for future reference 👍 @abillion10: I hope somebody will keep updated if necessary.
