We use nothing but yeast however because of the way we audit our supply chain we are unable to give the guarantee that all ingredients going into our cider will be suitable for vegetarians or vegans so we would say that we are unable to confirm its suitability. This is the same for all ciders in the Bulmers range.

Note from Sarah:
Magners Irish Cider is the same brand as Bulmers Irish Cider; it is known as Bulmers in Ireland but Magners elsewhere due to a restriction on the name.
