Accidental Vegan Snacks

If you're vegan, it can be difficult finding tasty snacks that fit your needs. Going vegan doesn't have to mean giving up foods that you enjoyed before the transition and many products are unintentionally vegan. Of course, always check the packaging before purchasing but these are the UK yummy treats we found.
