by Ah, Ramen. Staple of college students, struggling artists, and office dwellers. While dried Ramen can be one of the least expensive meals on the block, the spice packets they contain are often not vegan friendly. Jonathan wondered specifically about the Sapporo Ichiban Chicken Flavor product.
Looks like the chicken flavor may be entirely artificial. However, the ingredient list (thanks Wegman’s!) didn’t pass the vegan test as “Hydrolyzed Gelatin” and “Lactose” are listed. Sorry, this Ramen is not vegan.
My suggestion, invest in a bottle of tamari, a bottle of siracha, and some rice noodles.
And that full ingredient list:
