Following is but a partial list of the un-bonafide ingredients typically found in today's processed foods. The food additives list was excerpted from "A Consumer’s Dictionary of Food Additives" by Ruth Winter, M.S. It is disturbing to note that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not require food manufacturers to clearly label packages -- they are not even required to disclose that animal products are contained in foods that might appear to be vegetarian. Hidden away beneath the laboratory names of food additives, chemicals, emulsifiers, etc., are beef, horse, and even human by-products. The more you read on this subject, the more you will scrutinize the exact nature of foodstuffs you purchase for preparation and offering to Lord Krsna!
Please note that this list does not include egg, onion or garlic ingredients, all of which are considered un-bonafide, and are not offerable to Sri Krsna.

Following is a limited list of some of the brand name products availale on supermarket shelves which seem, at first glance, to be vegetarian. On closer inspection, however, we find that a variety of animal products are included in these foods as flavoring agents, emulsifiers, additives, etc. As above, we have not included products containing eggs, onion or garlic in the following list. Eggs are one of the most often included items on the un-bonafide foods list that you'll find in processed foods. Fortunately, in most cases, egg substances are clearly labeled 'egg'.
