    Also read your soups and pretty much all canned food because dairy will be hidden in there unless the label lists vegan

    Canned tomatoes, beans, and vegetables rarely contain dairy even if they're not specifically labeled.

    This is true but I've learned the hard way that it's better to be over cautious than have a sick kid. My daughter is dairy intolerant. We find dairy in nearly every canned meal such as soup, chilli, ravioli and sauces even tomato based. We have encountered dairy in mixed canned products containing vegetables and beans to. Some stuff is fine like corn, green beans, pinto beans, chilli beans or black beans by themselves but different brands mean different possible ingredients so checking never hurts.

    I have no doubt this is true for meals by conventional brands, but there are brands like Amy's that have dozens of vegan choices:

    The larger supermarkets near me have Amy's products available in their canned, soup, frozen, and health food sections.
