As a vegetarian can I eat maruchan ramen noodles?
I’m a vegetarian and I’m wondering if I can eat CHICKEN flavored maruchan ramen noodles. I ask because I’m not sure if the chicken FLAVOR actually includes any meat? Also, can vegans eat it? If not, why? What animal products does it include?
What animal products do ramen noodles contains and can vegetarians eat them? what about vegans?
Is the chicken flavor artificial?
Thank you for you answers but no one is explaining their answer. Please provide further information.

Neither Vegetarians nor Vegans would consume this product.

Do not consume it.Chicken bones are used for flavouring.Additionally, beef flavour crunchies,potato wafers etc etc.

Yes you can but you should not eat the chicken flavored ramen noodles of any brand, because the flavoring is made up of dehydrated animal fat and broth particles.
Can and won't are two different things. Humans can eat anything they want. Vegetarians won't eat meat or and slaughter by products.

you decided to become vegetarian, and give up meat, yet, you decide to ask if you can eat chicken flavored noodles………

I buy the packages but don’t use the flavor packs. When I looked through the ingredients, that’s where the animal products were. I’m vegetarian, though, not vegan. I’m not sure if they are vegan appropriate. Instead of the flavoring that comes with it, I use veggie broth or soy sauce and nutritional yeast on the noodles.

you can eat the noodles, but the packets have real animal flavorings.

Read the ingredients. Most Ramen noodles have animal fat in them.

RTFL. If it says chicken flavor or chicken fat–and it probably will–then, no, it’s not suitable for vegetarians.
I think Fantastic Foods has vegetarian ramen cups; they do have veg*an soup cups. I know that Dr. MacDougall’s has vegan soup cups that are not only tasty, but are low in sodium and calories.
And I really don’t recommend buying them and tossing the flavor packet, as it shows a demand for meat. Whether or not you eat it, they sold a meat product, which your money went for. Do you really want your money going to pay for animal products? I don’t.

No, not the chicken flavor. There is a vegetable flavor- but most grocery stores don’t carry it. Either go with Top Ramen oriental flavor (maruchan oriental flavor has animal products) or get the noodle cup soups from Whole Foods or Trader Joes.

Yes, chicken flavor is made by processing chicken carcasses. Vegetarians don’t eat things like chicken broth, chicken stock, chicken fat, chicken flavor or chicken powder. You may find some vegetarian products with ingredients like “artificial chicken flavor from non-meat sources” but unless the ingredients are that specific, it’s a sure bet that chicken flavor comes from chickens.
The noodles are likely OK, but you’d still have to read the ingredients and you’d still be buying an animal product (because the spice packet comes with.)
Top Ramen oriental flavor is currently both vegetarian and vegan friendly, but always read labels because manufacturers change formulations.
