Does it have to be incredibly strict? Can you do the cheaty version that looks at the "Is this labelled as vegetarian" - tick, does it say "contains dairy/eggs" in the allergy warning? Nope. Does it have honey? Nope. OK, I'll have that then!

Because you'll have real joy if you are trying to avoid anything which may contain traces because it will generally be done on the same equipment :-(. As a for instance, the Green and Blacks is no longer marked suitable for vegans because it is produced on the same equipment as the milky versions, so they list milk powder as a contaminant ingredient.

It can be as strict as I want - mostly I'm trying to find out how difficult it is and prompt myself to find out just what is in my staple processed foods.

I'm not bothered about traces, but I want to know what it's like for people who are.

Ideally the week would culminate in a vegan dinner party, but Busy Month is bad for that! Maybe some other time. The week includes a trip to London on Saturday, but I can stop at 3pm if wine etc is too complicated or the only dairy free food at the pub is fish and chips.
