Are there any comercial vegan breads?
I am trying to find a commercial bread that you can find at any local grocery store that does not have MILK in it. Does anyone know of any brands that do not contain animal products?
Answers:
Commercial breads can contain non-vegan ingredients, including whey, honey, shortening (some labels specify vegetable shortening, which is vegan), milk, and eggs. Sodium stearyl lactylate, glycerides, emulsifiers, natural flavor, mono- and diglycerides, glycerides, emulsifiers, artificial flavor, and lactase are just a few of the ingredients that, although not in every case necessarily animal-derived, should be considered non-vegan. Some bakeries grease the bread pans with animal fat. Be sure to ask before purchasing. Many vegans make their own bread from scratch, sometimes using a bread machine. This allows vegans to make vegan bread for a fraction of the cost of commercial brands.
This is what I found:

YES
Do you have a Target near you? They just came out with their own bread. The wheat (and I think a couple others) are vegan.
The only vegan breads sold in the grocery store are
and Italian Twist bread... Orlando. They also have vegan ciabatta rolls.
Also, Schwebel's just came out with "Lite Wheat enriched, Fit For Life" bread. It is vegan.
There is an "accidentally vegan" list by PETA, but it is out dated. The 2 breads they list (wonderbread and one other) are no longer vegan; they added whey.

Edit- Dear, dear GG,
Target- Archer Farms style bread whole Wheat
Has neither of those things.
(oops, I deleted the ingredients... I'll have to find that bag)
snap!

*hugs*

Heeeeeeey, get your minions of the TD button.

Edit-
G is right; pick Cister as your best answer, or GGhost for knowing that bread changes based on where you are. I'm just going on what I believe is the Peta standard of vegan.
:D
I'd love to give you a list but it's just not possible. Almost all bread is made in local commercial bakeries and the ingredients differ from city to city; it's very rare for bread to be shipped more than a few hundred miles. You'll just have to check the ingredient labels on what's available in your area
I did just think of one exception to that 'rule'. Subway Italian bread is always vegan; not the kind of answer you want but it's nice to know
Edit:
Lillyian, Texas SuperTarget stores have carried their own bread for at least two years and the last time I checked it wasn't even vegetarian safe since it's made with L-cysteine and doesn't specify which emulsifiers are used.
Edit:
Lillyian, That's a nice change from the labels on Texas bread
XOXOX
Edit:
TD isn't my fault! I'd TU but it's broken
Edit:
TU's to Cister and Lillyian.
