Long story short, the gf and I came across a “vegan” bread recipe.

My question is, what makes regular bread non vegan? I’ve looked up a few recipes and even looked at the ingredients of my store bought bread. Not a single animal product to be found.

So, what’s the difference, or is this just another scam in the food world?

Yeast?
 
Some sandwich breads too I think have dairy in them. I don't think yeast is considered an animal product by most vegans.
 
I imagine a lot of bread in the store they just can't guarantee that it didn't come into contact with milk or whatever, maybe depending on what else they make there.

Normal bread should be vegan though.
 
Bread containing eggs, honey, royal jelly, gelatin, or dairy-based ingredients like milk, butter, buttermilk, whey, or casein isn't considered vegan.

Yeah, I get the contact thing, but that picture I posted didn’t even have that warning.

My wife is a vegan, and she would eat this bread because it’s vegan. I’m not sure where you’re hearing that it’s not.

I was more just curious about someone making a sandwich with vegan bread and was wondering what’s the difference. Since there are not animal products in the vast majority of bread.

Some breads like brioche and ciabatta can routinely contain eggs, but not regular bread. Assuming the recipe is trying to play off the vegan buzzword.

I'd imagine that the vast majority of bread is vegan, but because certain ingredients (and sub-ingredients of those) may have potential animal sources, it is simply a choice to not give it the label that would then require them to keep verifying that those ingredients remained vegan and would limit their ability to change ingredients\suppliers in the future. Simpler just to leave the vegan label off because most vegans are going to look at this and say it counts as vegan anyway.

Once the vegan bread thing is figured out can we just turn this into a generalized "Can someone help me understand this?" megathread because I have a lot of questions about a lot of sh*t.
