Was wondering

[AstriaPorta]

I was checking the spaghetti packets i have at home... and was looking at the ingredients..

from monday i will cut all meat and dairy product..and was checking if the pasta have eggs...
anyways one packet say nothing, and the other i have say may contain traces of egg
so what everyone think? should i trust it and eat this?

If it is a food allergy you might want to avoid the noodles otherwise it is probably only trace amounts of egg.

I wouldn't have even thought to check noodles for dairy I'm with Fred, if it's a diet then I wouldn't worry about it, if it's for medical reasons then - better safe than sorry.

it is for fasting and not allow dairy.. so not for any medical reason . but if i have the pasta that may have egg no point then cut the rest lol like butter or boild eggs .. i can find many other food to eat i eat all vegetables

just pasta is cheap food and quick:tooth

Eggs are dairy products?

btw i know 90% of pasta is vegan just confused a little because it said may

Eggs would fit in Category I, as a meat product. But they aren't dairy... dairy refers to products of mammalian milk.

i know what you mean but does fit with dairy more..

if you vegetarian you do not eat meat but do eat dairy
what you are vegan you do cut dairy plus eggs too ..maybe not dairy the eggs but fall there..

A lot of pasta contains eggs because that's how pasta is tradionally made ( flour, eggs, salt and olive oil).


I'd eat the pasta from the packet that says nothing, although the other one might be ok if eggs isn't listed in the ingredients. Sometimes factories will have a warning about may contain eggs because the factory making them uses eggs in other products and they cannot be 100% sure there will be not any cross contamination.
