Are Triscuits Vegan Friendly? (We Have the Answer!)


Are Triscuits Vegan

Triscuits are famously known for its weave-like, layered crackers packed with flavor. We’ve seen them at parties and celebrations next to the dips and cheeses, but we have to ask: are Triscuits vegan?

Some Triscuits flavors are vegan, such as Balsamic Triscuits and Fire Roasted Tomato & Olive Oil Triscuits. Other flavors, like Four Cheese & Herb Triscuits contain milk, making them not vegan-friendly. Always review the ingredients list to ensure the product is vegan. The best vegan alternatives include Craize’s Toasted Corn Crackers and Hu Kitchen’s Grain-free Sea Salt Crackers.

In this article, we will discuss why some Triscuits cracker flavors are vegan-friendly ,while others are not. We will also include healthy vegan alternatives to Triscuits that are a must-try. Let’s dig in!

Are Triscuits Bad For You?

They are certainly not the best for you. Triscuits contain harmful ingredients, like vegetable oil, which in this case, contains canola and soybean oil, that comes from GMOs. Using genetically modified ingredients is frowned upon as they leave toxins in the body and lead to major chronic illnesses such as cancer. Research testing on animals in a laboratory setting has shown to cause damage to the liver, kidneys heart, spleen, and other organs, in the animals being tested on! So, why would it be deemed safe for humans to ingest these genetically modified ingredients?

It is recommended to only buy and consume, the Original Triscuits flavor as it only contains three ingredients. All of the other flavors contain harmful ingredients, like the Fire Roasted Tomato and Olive Oil flavors, which contain red, yellow, and blue food coloring, flavor enhancers, and other chemicals.
