✅ Vegan-Friendly Crackers (Usually Safe)

✔ Water crackers (flour, water, oil, salt)
✔ Seed crackers (chia, flax, sesame)
✔ Rice crackers (check for dairy powder)
✔ Whole grain crackers (avoid honey-glazed varieties)

🚫 Non-Vegan Ingredients to Avoid

• Milk powder (common in “buttery” crackers)
• Honey (used in some “artisanal” brands)
• L-cysteine (derived from feathers, found in some breads)

Pro Tip: If you’re wondering, “Is bread vegan?”, the same rules apply—always check labels for dairy, eggs, or honey.
