Vegetarian Guide Indonesia

Finding vegan biscuits in Indonesia is not easy. Almost all the products of biscuits you find in the shelves of supermarkets always contain either milk or eggs in the compositions.

Fortunately, I found one brand that does not contain milk and eggs in the composition of their products. Namely Cream Crackers Monde, manufactured by PT. Jaya Abadi Corak Biscuit Factory Indonesia Ltd., located in Surabaya - Indonesia.

The ingredients listed on the packaging box are wheat flour, vegetable fat, salt, yeast, baking powder, malt extract.

If you find that other brand products, please inform me, so I can update this post. Thank you. Go Veggie!
