"Why are they calling them 'sausage' rolls?
"
Veggie or vegan “sausage rolls” have been around for years. I guess they labelled them as “vegan sausage rolls” as it describes to product. |

"Owt that upsets Morgan sounds ok to me
Pretty much the only reason I want to try one is because it upset Piers so much. "
Probably has shares in Greggs and now they will be overrun with people wanting to try them |

Yeah they’re delighted that him and others are losing their shit over it. Loads of free publicity. |

"Why are they calling them 'sausage' rolls?
Because they look like sausage rolls. Also the 'vegan' bit clarifies it."
the ironic bit is these rolls have almost the same fat content in them as a meat sausage roll .so that's the health aspect down the swanee for a start |

I don’t think anyone eating sausage rolls for lunch thinks they’re being healthy. |

"anything that expands a customer base is surely good..... saying that how are they going to do it where there is no cross contamination with their other products...."
The rules and regs on vegan production are very strict. They will have to have separated systems from raw materials intake through to the point where finished goods are combined, as long as at this point they are wrapped (as there is then no likelihood of cross-contamination from there on).
The actual production process will be in an area completely separate from the rest of the factory, with strict rules on hygiene, cleaning, and the movement of people. For example, there may be people employed only for vegan production, protective clothing may be a different colour to other production areas, certainly separate changing and possibly isolated staff welfare facilities, etc..... Possibly even as far as having completely separate water, compressed air, drainage, and separate ventilation systems.
Effectively, they would treat it more strictly than dealing with an allergen that is not used elsewhere, only without the caveat on packaging of "may contain..."
The production facility may even be completely separate from other production areas (eg, could be on the same site, but not physically connected). |

They probably have the same meat content as their sausage rolls too! |

To be honest because of the strict rules about producing and handling vegan food I am surprised that Greggs are able to sell anything with a 'vegan' label attached to it and I will not be surprised if in the near future they find themselves falling foul of the law when they are found to be cross contaminating vegan products with animal products as I am sure they have not fitted their shops with vegan only ovens, prep areas and vegan only serving staff. |
