    Thank you, everyone! I bought a couple of the Vega protein bars, and I plan to try the RX bars too.

    My problem is that some ingredients are iffy. For example, I was looking at some of the bars (Clif, I think, but possibly ThinkThin), and one ingredient listed was "glycerol", which can be derived from plant or animal sources. It would be so much easier if the words vegetarian or vegan were added to the packaging. (I feel the same about frozen food entrees.)

    I appreciate all the responses! :)

    If it is a brand you want to try and you aren't sure if an ingredient is derived from animals, you can always try contacting the company and asking them (or checking their website). I have usually found that companies are willing to share this information.

    Clif Builder Bars (at least the ones I've seen) specifically list "vegetable glycerin" as the ingredient when it is used. They're a company that sells a fair amount of plant-based products and in my experience they make it pretty obvious when animal ingredients are in a product.

    They are on the expensive side, but Genuine Health's vegan fermented protein bars are by far the best ones I have tasted.
    I looked this up and I am still not exactly sure what it means. One website said cottage cheese was a fermented protein.

    I find that whey can be an issue as it can be derived with rennet, which isn’t suitable for vegetarians.
    I saw a vegetarian rennet when I was making cheese. It might be a U.S. item,
