Are you a vegetarian wondering whether you can safely eat the sherbet-filled wafers that are called Flying Saucers (or sometimes UFOs). Well, you’ll be pleased you stopped by. Here is why.
So, are flying saucers vegetarian? Flying saucers are naturally vegetarian. This is true for all the major brands, including Frisia, Berrymans, and Astra, along with independent and non-branded saucers too.
Excellent news – I’m sure.
It also makes it easy when purchasing, as you’ll be able to pretty much buy any brand that you can find or that you have accessible.
That being said, it’s always a good idea to check, first.
Just in case.
So do read labels or check-in with manufacturers.
It’s also best to.
Nevertheless, what are these sweets typically made of and what brands can I confirm are vegetarian so you don’t have to look.
Let’s find out!
