Is chicken flavored Ramen vegitarian safe?

Does it actually have chicken in it or is it just flavoring. I'm a very perplexed vegitarian. Did eating it the other night make me a bad vegitarian?

    Yes, it contains chicken. There is a Vegan version that tastes pretty good, look for it in the health stores.

    the Nissin Top Ramen Oriental Flavor are vegetarian [vegan!].

    The other Top Ramen flavors, along with other ramen brands (all flavors of e.g. Maruchan, Sapporo Ichiban) are not vegetarian.

    look at the ingredients, and you will not be perplexed.

    there isn't much to "figure out" when you read things like "beef powder" or "dehydrated chicken"

    you're not a bad vegetarian if you didn't know. caring is a lot better than not caring, you know? it helps to make a conscious effort, tho.

    when in doubt: don't eat it.

    No it isn't vegan, unfortunately :(. It doesn't make you a bad veggie - oh no no. You feeling guilt over it really shows your strong feelings on the matter! Don't beat yourself up for it. Accidents happen. :)

    But as long as you don't add the flavor packet, the noodles themselves should be vegan, though not very healthy, lol (read the ingredients to be sure! Each brand will probably be different).

    Toss out the flavor packet and make your own flavored broth for the noodles! Vegetable broth with soy sauce is a good start. I usually make a quick broth for plain ramen noodles out of water, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp mirin, a dash of garlic and onion powders, and a tiny sprinkle of dried basil... tastes pretty good! Add 1 tsp sugar if you want it sweeter. It won't be the same as the flavor packet, of course, but it will be animal free. :)

    Yes, because The Chicken Seasoning For The Ramen has Dehydrated Chicken Broth in it.

    sometimes it's just flavoring, sometimes it has actual chicken fat or chicken by-products. You'll have to read the ingredients on the label to know for sure.

    Nope. Ever heard of chicken stock?

    Don't look to people on here to tell you if your a "good or bad" vegetarian though... you give yourself that title. You didn't know, everythings fine. :)

    if you look at the ingredients it should say POWDER COOKED CHICKEN...or something like that so no its not vegetarian BUT sometimes it is just flavoring.

    don't fret-eat what you want.

    you're not "bad".

    it probably is made from chicken stock.

    just don't do it again.next time try the oriental ones.

    be careful about what you eat.

    always insist on reading the ingredients list.

    don't be uninformed on what you're consuming.

    everybody messes up sometimes.
