Some L.A. vegan restaurants get called out for using fake meat that
contains milk and egg products
...
In case you hadn’t heard yet, L.A. vegan restaurants are feeding eggs
and milk to vegans (via Boing Boing, thanks to Zak).That’s right — A
vegan blog called Quarry Girl undertook “Operation Pancake” — a study
that basically bought food from 17 L.A. vegan restaurants and tested
them for animal products. 10 restaurants passed the test — but 7 did
not. According to Quarry Girl:

What the test results seem to confirm … is that the meat
substitutes available at vegan Thai restaurants are suspect, as are
the ingredients used in some specific food options (pancakes,
quesadillas and more).

The specific issue that Quarry Girl points to is that meat substitutes
imported from Taiwan sometimes include animal ingredients that aren’t
listed on the ingredient labels — an omission that appears largely due
to the different food labeling laws in Taiwan vs. the U.S. Luckily,
Taiwan’s poised to tighten its food labeling laws, which will
hopefully help close this un-vegan-friendly gap in information.
