I AM A VEGETERIAN,,,,do refried beans have meat in them?

Marketing Strategies

It depends. In restaurants they usually are cooked with some kind of meat like ham juices or bacon. Ask the waiter. In cans, look on the label–some say lard and that is animal fat. But some specifically say vegetarian and they do not have any animal fat or products.

Marketing Strategies

you get fat free and its just beans no animal fat or meat.

Marketing Strategies

if the ingredient list says “lard” then yes, they do. when eating out at mexican restaurants, always ask if they have lard in the beans or no, because most restaurants do.
lard is pig fat

Marketing Strategies

if you go to the store, you can see that they have vegeterian refried beans and non-vegeterian, so i believe they do.

Marketing Strategies

Most I have seen have lard in them. Yes, lard. Can you feel your arteries clogging as we talk about it! I like “Old El Paso” vegitarian refried beans the best.

Marketing Strategies

Some of them are fried in lard-beef or hog fat-read the label.I think the vegetarian ones taste better.

Marketing Strategies

As a general rule no…. many restaurants use pre-packaged beans to save on food cost, unless they are “truly authentic” I honestly can’t think of any brand that does include a meat product or fat as beans are such a high source of protein to vegetarians… why would they shut themselves out of that niche market? Hopefully this helps and be sure to ask when dining out, any reputable restaurant will provide ingredients and recipes when asked for them…. if they say no, tell them you have a unspecified food allergy.

Marketing Strategies

No.

Neither does a McD’s hamburger… you gotta try one sometime.

Marketing Strategies

Fried beans have fat in them although no meat.

Marketing Strategies

Most refried beans are made with lard which is an animal fat. There are some vegetarian refried beans on the market. It usually says right on the front of the can if the beans are the vegetarian variety. It should also say right on the label if the beans are prepared using animal fat or not.

Marketing Strategies

some do get the vegetarian refried beans

Marketing Strategies

From what I know, there’z no meat in them, but it iz usually made with lard unless otherwize stated.

Marketing Strategies

You just need to read the ingredient labels. Some that aren’t labelled “vegetarian” are. They will contain no meat, of course, and vegetable oil or shortenings.

What you need to look for is the listing of an animal fat, usually lard. But also look for “tallow” or any other animal fat.

A very few brands contain sausage, but this is usually on front label. To follow any special diet, you need to read ingredient labels.”Vegetable soup” for example could contain chicken or beef broth. Some white gravy mixes include chicken fat. Even “vegetarian” may not be enough if you are a vegan or have special religious rules. Hari Krishna followers, for example, do not eat onions or garlic.

Marketing Strategies

Check the label! Do not buy beans made with lard (animal fat) They are not vegan! I usually get Rosarita’s Fat Free beans (no lard) and they work okay. Have to add a little cumin and chili powder because without the lard and salt they are little flat tasting. Happy bean eating!

Marketing Strategies

Uh, no. They’re beans. Great protein and fiber!

Marketing Strategies

You need to read the label. Most likely they have a meat by product if there is a vegetarian version.

Marketing Strategies

usually, no. I have never encountered this, though. If you buy them, look at the ingredients, and if you get them at a resteraunt, you can ask if they do.
