I happily eat butter and drink milk, but not lard. The fact that cheese and butter are made from milk which come from cows does not classify them as meat. Only a vegan would avoid all animal products.

Cheese made using animal rennet is not suitable for vegetarians, though.

Proper bakers often use the number of holes in pies and pasties to differentiate the contents. It's not difficult.

I'd say "Oh dear, i just ate a bit of meat. Never mind, it won't kill me" and move on.

Mistakes happen, it isn't going to cause a fatality.

Is this the new yard stick we are to use when deciding whether to escalate issues?

E.g. "oh dear, my new TV has broke after a month.. oh well i won't complain as at least nobody died!"

Read my post again..... PastRY not PasTY.

Pastry is quite often made with lard.

No, it's my opinion. I don't expect everyone to feel the same as i do. The OP asked what people would do. Thats what i would do. Ok ?

I had exactly the same issue with morrisons pie counter and as a vegetarian of 32 years I was well peeved with them. They offered me a four pack of pasties as an apology but oddly I didn't bother accepting them. To eat out is a minefield, the amount of times I've put 'quorn' lasagne in my mouth and discovered that it was mince is too many to recount, so now if I can't see the veggies all through a meal I don't eat it. And there are so few choices on menus too

That opened my eyes. I've been veggie for about 17 years and never had that problem.

I think Morrisons is the worst quality out of all of the supermarkets anyway, so mistakes by them doesn't affect me tbh as I don't go there often.

So true about the few choices on menus. I get so annoyed with contstant 'it's mushroom risotto or strogonoff'. I don't like mushrooms and I'm a veggie! But that's the only option on the menu grr

Or if she had a nut allergy and a nut free labelled pasty had contained a nut filling........

The outcome would have been far more serious. Therefore, you would likely have received an entirely different response.

Understandable why she feels disgusted but I can't say I would kick up to much of a fuss, I would probably mention it to customer services and leave it at that.

Not good but not the end of the world

If it says "suitable for vegetarians" on the label then it must not contain animal rennet.

Not a vegeterian pastry. Will be no lard in it.

.

Most cheese in food manufacturing sector is vegeterian these days, its easier to supply veggie cheese from rationalisation point of view.
a few cheese like gorgoganzo though do not have veggie rennet versions.
