Products by Strongbow - UK:

Barnivore note: it looks like the core Strongbow products are vegan, but the company won't commit to it (it's a "may contain" thing) - here's the details we have:

From the FAQ (December 2011):

"Is Strongbow suitable for Vegetarians?
Afraid not."

And then Liam asked "So when it says on the Strongbow website, they aren’t suitable for vegetarians, it simply means they’re produced in an area where non-vegetarian drinks are made?"

And then Strongbow replied "Yes that is correct and as such we can't guarantee that any of our ciders are suitable for vegetarians."

Company email (Oct 2011):

"With regards to our ciders, two of our products, Bulmers Original and Jacques use an animal product as a colouring material."

Company Email:
"With regards to our ciders, two of our products, Bulmers Original and Jacques use an animal product as a colouring material. Our other ciders do not use any animal products as ingredients. However some of our processes mean that very small amounts of these ciders may come in contact with our other ciders, and as such we can't guarantee that any of our ciders are suitable for vegetarians."

Company Email:
"I can confirm that Strongbow is not suitable for vegan/vegetarians as we use an animal product as a colouring material."

Company Email: 2006
"Strongbow and Strongbow Super are suitable for vegetarians, however,Strongbow Sirrus and Strongbow Jacques are not. "
