I'm the type of person to read labels...always. Food companies like to sneak in nonvegan ingredients in the oddest of foods. Take these seemingly innocent cracker sticks. I was happily enjoying them, in fact they boast 90 calories per package, and I decided to splurge and buy some for myself. I had been working out alot, had increased my cardio and I thought why not treat myself? I have a weakness for salty foods, and the fat and calories were not bad on these yummy snacks. Now like I said I am a label reader, and of course I did read the label before buying, but I admit to half heartedly paying attention. They're chips, why would I think there would be murder involved?
I had eaten 4 packages over the course of a week and brought the fifth to work for a snack as I drove...stopped for a light, bored I read the package...SARDINES
WTF?
I look again
Yep, that says SARDINES! And it was not even in the ingredient panel! It was listed below it!
Now why in the hell would they need fish in a potato chip?
I was physically sick. I had to pull over. I was horrified.
overreacting? Maybe, but I will NEVER buy Pringles again, and as soon as I got home I sent them a blistering letter of complaint, and I hope whoever reads my blog will be aware of this as well.

This is bad! Another one of my grips are from another chip, I did a thing about them on my old blog a long time ago, the LOW FAT BBQ Baked Lays potato chips include a nice dose of CHICKEN FAT! Yes, it is true. I am not a vegan, but a vegetarian and I was applauded when I found out they were putting chicken fat in the BBQ chips. Thinking that perhaps they were using it as a coagulant, which of course still did not make any sense, I checked the plain flavorless kind, which DOES NOT include Chicken fat. My nephew told me that it was perhaps for flavor, but I remarked how the BBQ flavor was the same on the regular Lays BBQ which also DID NOT include CHICKEN FAT. I have no clue why the would decide to do this. ALSO something else to keep an eye on ALMOST all the microwave RICE from UNCLE BEN's and such also include CHICKEN FAT. I have no clue why they sneak all this in on people.
