PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese is pasteurized

I tried to find out how it is with this and had to call Consumer Relations for Kraft Canada. According to them all their milk is pasteurized. Products like PHILADELPHIA Brick Cream Cheese and their Tub Cream Cheese. I think it should be on their website as well as their ingredient list on the products just like it is in UK.

Ingredients:
Made with pasteurised milk.
Added ingredients:
Stabilisers (E410, E407)

LG Washing Machine fail to start

Any ideas why this happens? Some days the Washing Machine just fails to start. The dryer works just fine so there is no power problem. Then after some hours or days it starts working just fine and can keep running as usual for days or months but suddenly the washing machine has a problem to start again. No sound and nothing showing up on the dashboard.

Some thoughts are that it could be because of high temperature inside during summer or high air humidity. Other are that there is a problem with the lid.

Wondering if it’s possible to solve this problem permanently and how to identify it.

La Roche­ Posay Anthelios sunblock

Q. I’m wondering about the sunscreen products from La Roche Posay. The Anthelios sunblock products like ANTHELIOS L SPF 60 are suitable for vegans and are fragrance free.

A. All the ingredients we use in a product are listed on the package or the label of the product itself.  Since some ingredients are known by more than one name, we use the standard industry names for ingredients as found in the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary.  This dictionary lists FDA-recognized names.

These products do not contain animal derived ingredients. In our manufacturing process we take precautions to prevent cross contamination.  Our equipment is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized to conform to our cleansing validation standards.  The possibility of contamination from prior product manufacture is almost impossible.

We hope this information is helpful.

Sincerely,
Consumer Affairs Coordinator

 

Notice that L’Oréal does have products with honey, bees wax, lanolin from sheep, fish based ingredients, keratin from feathers, ingredients from eggs.

RoC products contain animal ingredients

Q. I wonder about your sunscreen/protection products if they are suitable for vegans?

A. Some of our RoC products do contain animal ingredients. We cannot guarantee that cross-contamination with these ingredients has not occurred with other products.

Should you require further information, I invite you to e-mail us again or call the Information Centre at: 1 800 361-8068.

Whink Wash Away

I'm looking at your product found here

http://www.whink.com/wash_away.htm

What I wonder is if they contain any fragrance. My family is sensitive and has allergies.

Do they contain anything of animal source? Are they suitable for vegans?

Thank you for contacting Whink Products Company.
Whink Wash Away does not contain any ingredient that is made from an animal source so we believe that it is suitable for vegans.  It does contain microbial enzymes be we're not sure if that goes against the vegan way of life.
Wash Away does contain a very small amount of a mild citrus fragrance.  If you are sensitive to fragrance, be sure to where household rubber gloves when applying Wash Away to the stain.  Also rinse the garment well after using Wash Away and then launder the garment before wearing it.
Thank you,

Whey and rennet in Sobeys products

I wonder a little about your cheese products in general and about the Brie cheese you have.
Does the Brie Cheese contain or is it made using whey or rennet of animal source?
Is it something else in the product that is of animal source that is not from milk?

How about your other cheese products?
Is there any that are without or not made using whey or rennet of animal source?

Thank you for your message. The Brie contains milk as well as cream.   As we  have numerous suppliers for our cheeses, I have listed below with their ups scan code so you know what to look for in the stores a few that do not contain rennet but do contain milk. Please contact us again at the toll-free number or e-mail address below with any questions or comments on any of our Compliments products.

I'm not sure if I understand.

Can you respond to this question.

Does the Compliments Brie Cheese you have contain or is it made using whey or rennet of animal source?

Another question. When a product contain rennet or whey does it show up on the ingredient list or not?

 

Rennet should show up on the ingredient list if used. If a microbial enzyme is used to coagulate the milk instead of rennet, the ingredients should read "microbial enzyme" or "bacterial culture" or list the bacteria used. Whey is the fluid portion of milk.

The reason why I wonder about whey is that whey and whey powder are usually by-products of the cheese making process which mainly uses animal rennet.

 

Here is the response I received from my Quality assurance manger regarding the question you asked below. 

From the ingredients declaration, this product contains bacterial cultures, so the bacteria are used. There is no mention of Rennet so it does not have rennet.

The whey is the fluid portion of milk.

Wrigley products for vegans

Dear Dear Consumer,,
Thank you for writing requesting information regarding our a Wrigley product.  We appreciate your interest in our company and our products.
In answer to your question, the vast majority of Wrigley products sold in Canada are free from ingredients of animal origin, including egg and dairy products.  Glycerin is the most common ingredient in our gum products.  Glycerin can come from animal, vegetable or synthetic sources.  The glycerin we use comes from vegetable sources only.
At present, the only exceptions are Extra® Polar IceTM, Altoids® mints, Juicy Fruit Twisted Green, Lifesavers Gummies, Excel Cool Blast mints and Lifesavers Cremesavers.
Extra® Polar Ice gum contains tiny flavour beads encased in a microscopic layer of gelatin, which is animal based.  This brand is not to be confused with Excel ® Polar Ice, which does not contain gelatin.  Juicy Fruit Twisted Green gum uses shellac (also known as Confectioner's Glaze) as a coating agent.
In addition, the different varieties of our ALTOIDS® mints, Lifesavers Gummies and Excel Cool Blast (liquid-filled) mints do contain very small quantities of gelatin which is derived from pork.  Gelatin does not impart any flavor to ALTOIDS, but it's a necessary ingredient for the texture of the mints.  When we use gelatin it is thoroughly purified and dried during its manufacturing process.  Lifesavers Cremesavers brands use dairy products.
Our staff is continually looking at alternatives to animal gelatin, but at the moment we've not been able to find a substitute that produces the same quality consumers expect of our products.
Another common question concerns whether glycerin or sugar alcohols are true alcohols or not.  Glycerin is an alcohol but this type of alcohol is a natural byproduct of most plants, fruits and vegetables or it sometimes has a synthetic source.  Sugar alcohols refers to the group of ingredients that are artificial sweeteners.  We would like to point out that these alcohols are NOT the same as the ethyl alcohol found in alcoholic beverages.
Your interest in the Wrigley Company is greatly appreciated, Dear Consumer,.  We hope this information is helpful to you.
Sincerely,
Consumer Affairs Representative

Nisim newhair products for vegans?

Thank you for your interest in our products.  No they do not contain any animal byproducts. 

The shampoos control the hair loss and the extracts stimulate new growth.  Conditioners are not necessary but the key is the shampoo and extract.  You should shampoo daily...a double wash and rinse then apply the extract once in the morning and again in the evening.  If you are shampooing again during the day you can go ahead and apply the extract again.  I wouldn't use if more than 3 times a day.  You would just be wasting it.

Regarding your sensitivity issue.....I would recommend doing a small test patch prior to using the products.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Nisim International

Is ground Salba or whole Salba seed best

I was contacting Salba because I wondered if I should use whole or ground seeds. Here is their reply.

I see nowhere on if there is any difference eating whole or crushed.

Some grains you don't get all nutrition of it if you eat them whole so I wonder if the stomach will digest them whole or if it is best with crushed ones.

We assume that the nutrients from the whole Salba seed are available for absorption as well as those from ground Salba, because Salba has an open husk that softens up when it gets in contact with any fluid. Also, when you add the seed to water you can see that it absorbs a lot of water, indicating the seed is easily accessible.

I hope this information is helpful. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me again.

Enjoy Salba!

www.sourcesalba.com

Salba® is the richest whole food source of Omega 3 fatty acids and fibre found in nature. Every serving (12 grams or approximately 2 flat tablespoons) of Salba® provides over 2,400 mg of Omega 3s, over 4,500 mg of dietary fibre, with less than 0.5 net carbohydrates per serving. Gram for gram, Salba® provides six times more calcium than whole milk, three times more iron than spinach, and fifteen times more magnesium than broccoli. Salba® is all-natural, has no trans-fats, is gluten free, has almost no carbohydrates, and is certified Non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organism).
