I learned just today (2/11/2009) from Distributor Relations that most of the Herbalife products DO contain animal ingredients and are NOT suitable for Vegetarians or Vegans. All Capsules are gelatin [(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatin ): Gelatin (from French gélatine) is a translucent, colorless, brittle, nearly tasteless solid substance, derived from the collagen inside animals' skin and mostly bones.] and All Tablets contain shellac [(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellac ): Shellac is an all-natural resin secreted by the female lac bug to form a cocoon, on trees in the forests of India and Thailand.[1].]

Gelatin is also found in the Chicken Soup Mix as well as the Wild Berry and Peach Mango Juice Drinks. Best advise is to read your label carefully!

I haven't been able to find anything definite about animal testing on the Herbalife.com website.

Are tooty frooties suitable for vegetarians?

Well there's a difference between vegetarians and vegans. Most vegetarians do consume milk products like cheese for example while vegans don't come near any animals products at all. If you choose to consume milk products then it's ok to eat chocolate in condition that they're not made with eggs. Always read ingredients on whatever you buy and check if there's eggs included. If so then the answer is NO it's not suitable for vegetarians.


Is Galaxy chocolate suitable for vegetarians?

Yes, but it contains dairy products so is unsuitable for vegans. The plain chocolate bar is labelled suitable for vegetarians (in the smallest, most difficult to find writing possible) but some of the other types are not labelled as such so I would be wary of them. Allegedly, the bars do have a "Suitable for Vegetarians" writing on them, but it's insanely difficult to find.
