Are Morningstar Farm chick'n nuggets vegan?

The ingredients list says that they have lactic acid. Is that vegan?Are Morningstar Farm chick'n nuggets vegan?
I looked up the ingredients on their site. They contain non-fat dry milk as one of the lesser ingredients. So no, they are not technically vegan. It's up to you to decide if that small amount of dried milk breaks the rules of your diet.

They are not vegan, most of the Morningstar Farms products will say that they are vegan if they are. The points below are all good, but don't forget that most sugar is not vegan. I even asked Morningstar Farms about their sugar and they said to eat their products that contain the evaporated cane juice. They have a wonderful chicken patty, Grillers Chick'n that is vegan. Also, as already mentioned the chicken strips are vegan.
Chicken nuggets are not vegan.

they contain CHICKEN!!

and lactic acid is not vegan either, it is formed by muscles in mammals when the can not get enough oxygen. lactic acid is produced by anaerobic respiration.Are Morningstar Farm chick'n nuggets vegan?
On their website you can view products by dietary need. Here is the list of their products that are Vegan. Looks like the Chick'n strips are, the nuggets are not.

Try 'Quorn' chicken nuggets. It's a British brand of vegetarian/vegan products but it is also sold in most American supermarkets.
Idk, i gave them to my vegan friend she said they were fine

and she is a hardcore vegan, like no red skittles bad
lactic acid comes from milk, so not vegan.
i think it may have egg in the breading.
Nope, they are not
