What percentage of the ingredients/contents has any connection at all with an edible part of a pig?

I'm betting on 0.1% ("pork product").................

Don't cheese and onion crisps contain that 'rennet' stuff which is virtually fatal to dairy-allergics.........??

Yeah, that's it. Rennet. It comes from animal bones or something, which is classed as 'meat' if you are a vegetarian. That's why the Cheese & Onion ones are non-vegetarian. Yet the Beef flavour ones contain no beef, only flavourings to taste like beef. So vegetarians can eat them.

Mad world...
