Question HAOHUANLUO LIZHOU ILOSIEN MALA FLAVOUR is vegetarian noodles?
Can anyone tell me if this specific type of noodles contains any animal-derived ingredients?
I’m vegetarian, and I can’t find any animal ingredients listed on the packaging. However, just to be safe, I asked Gemini, and it made me really paranoid by suggesting that the soup base might be made with river snail broth.
Does anyone know anything about this specific product or this particular package? Thanks in advance!
