This is quite important, I just want to let sangat know that some breads actually contain products derived from PIGS, meat issue aside, its actually just sickening how these companies in their lust for profits can make something as simple as bread non vegetarian :doh:

Anyway, PLEASE do check there is either a 'V' sign or 'suitable for vegetarians' printed on your bread packaging as otherwise it will contain products from corpses.

Also, just as a general reminder to sangat even though it may seem simple, something I myself was quite unaware of until recently was that even if you check a product's ingredients and it seems to be ok, without an actual Vegetarian sign it is actually most likely unsuitable. Infact if you can't actually detect anything obvious in the ingredients list like egg white or something, its usually something really disgusting like internal organs which it contains :S

So my benti to sangata is please make sure that when looking at any food products check first for a Vegetarian logo, and even then you must check the ingredients for any presence of egg because even with a V sign it doesn't mean there is no egg in there :(

Life for us veggies just gets harder and harder lol, i think some sikh orgs should make some link with the Vegetarian Society and any others.

Could we have a list of the breads we can and cant eat as that would be more helpful.

See the updates on the Vegetarian Society website:

http://www.vegsoc.org/news/2009/bread.html...2009/bread.html

Apparently Allinson, Asda, Burgen, Co-op, Hovis, Kingsmill, Sainsbury's, Sunblest, Tesco own label, Waitrose, Warburtons are all fine.

Regards,

K.

I have contacted both Dempsters Bread and Wonder Bread Canada with regards to the issue of animal by-products and in particular the use of mono and digycerides. Dempsters advised that they do not use any animal by-products in any of their products. The mono and digycerides that they use are plant based. Below is the reponse I recieved from Wonder Bread Canada. I hope this information helps. In addition I spoke with a represenatative from Gay Lea which makes Nordica Cottage Cheese. They advised that they only use plant based mono and diglycerides. All of the people I spoke with were very helpful so if there is a product you are not sure about please pick up the phone and contact customer service.

Dear valued customer,

This letter is to acknowledge that none of our bakeries use any animal bi-products in our breads and rolls.

All fats, shortenings and micro ingredients (such as mono/di-glycerides and dough conditioners) are of vegetable source.

You will need to read the ingredient declaration/allergy statement on the bread and roll and there will be listed weather or not the product contains eggs or milk.

Should you have further questions concerning any of our products, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,

Customer Service

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
