Are these products vegan?

Please tell me if these foods would be considered suitable for a vegan diet:

Special K Protein Plus Cereal

Kashi GoLean Cereal (Please be vegan, please be vegan, PLEASE BE VEGAN)

Oroweat bread products (I know some list milk as an ingredient, but for the ones that don't: any animals in there?)

Thanks so much! If one of them isn't vegan, could you please tell me which ingredient makes it so? I would really like to know for future reference.

Looking over Kashi GoLean Cereal, only qualms a vegan may have is with the honey. As for if you are able to eat it, that's up to you.

Vegans avoid all animal-derived products.   So you're looking for ingredients such as milk products (powder), whey derivatives, rennet, gelatin, honey, butter, fish oils... the list is fairly big.  Kashi Golean contains honey so it isn't vegan but it is vegetarian.  It'll help if you get to know your ingredients lists and have a dictionary handy to decipher any words you don't recognise. 

Special K Protein Plus Ingredients:

Wheat Bran, Soy Grits, Rice, Wheat Gluten, Soybean Oil, Whole Grain Wheat, Soy Protein Isolate, Sugar, Salt, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Malt Flavor, Natural and Artificial Flavor, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Sucralose, Alpha Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E), Reduced Iron, Niacinamide, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Thiamin Hydrochloride (Vitamin B1), Vitamin A Palmitate, Folic Acid and Vitamin B12.

I don't know if you've seen this already, but here's a list of vegan groceries that might be handy. I think it's mainly products that are in the US, though.

Kashi "Autumn Wheat" cereal is vegan.

I have been e-mailing the companies to request what is vegan and what is not.  I'm trying to compile my own list of these.

Here is the e-mail I received from Kelloggs:Thank you for contacting us. Here is a list of all Kelloggs products that are vegan.

read the label... special k cereal's are formulated differently in canada, the us, and the uk. for example, the flavours i like and buy in canada have trace amounts of dairy products in the us.

Special K has whey in it.

Go to www.peta.org/accidentallyVegan/

aka i can't believe its vegan.com ...though its not all the healthiest stuff it has a list of diff foods including cereals that are vegan (even if they might have a lot of refined sugar in it theyre technically vegan)

Good Luck, I've been vegetarian for over a year and vegan for a month (Except for that piece of pizza in Vegas) but otherwise things have been goin really well and I feel great...

How has your journey been treating you so far?

I have a box of special K protein plus, I don't see whey as one of the ingredients (I'm in the US, I don't know if this would differ in other countries). As far as I can tell it is okay, however I don't see it on any of the "vegan safe" lists which seem to be incomplete anyway.

I don't like PETA's accidentally vegan list. 

They have this philosophy that avoiding animal products to extremes (like "2% or less" or even listed before that) sends a message to the food industry that there is no market in veganism and they shouldn't even try. 

I emailed them once about NY Peppermint patties, I think, or something that had eggs right there on the ingredients list, not "may contain" or even "2% or less" but just there, and they emailed me back and said that whole spiel up there. 

But uh, Kashi GoLean, I'm pretty sure there's a kind with honey and a kind without, right?
