The following list of ingredients to avoid were shocking at first.  I discovered that many of the items in my pantry I thought were vegan were in fact not.  This is something worth printing and carrying in your car for grocery store runs, recipe building, and eating out (for restaurants with ingredient lists).  Thank you to The Vegan Wolf for this information!

A few common ingredients found in lots of "seemingly" vegan food.... to look out for include:

• Gelatin (including marshmallows)
• Casein (calcium caseinate) (Found in soy cheese sometimes....)
• Rennet (Also found even in soy cheese sometimes....)
• Whey (a dairy product found in lots of things... breads, margarine...
  Also look out for :
• Mayonnaise…most contain egg
  
• Pasta…. Some contain egg
