    No, they don't. They also don't eat dark chocolate or white chocolate if it's made with milk. It's really amazing how many things contain animal products that aren't really obvious, isn't it? Sometime, you should try reading labels. Most convenience-store pastries (pies, danishes, etc... the pre-wrapped kind) contain lard. Who would think? An apple pie isn't even vegetarian. A lot of potato chips contain whey. You can understand the sour cream and onion, of course, but why is there milk in barbecue chips? You know that gummy candies contain gelatin, but so do Hi Chews and Starburst. Who would think that a fruit candy would be non-vegetarian? If you don't have a reason to pay attention, it makes sense that you wouldn't really think about it.

    But no, vegans don't eat milk chocolate. Vegetarians don't eat Caesar salad. Folks who are gluten-free usually have to avoid soy sauce (there are kinds made without wheat). All dietary restrictions require vigilance, as so many ingredients are "hidden."

    No. MILK chocolate contains MILK. Vegans don't eat anything from an animal. Milk comes from an animal. There is such a thing as vegan chocolate though.

    Soy milk or rice milk is usually what vegans and lactose intolerant people would have because it's not really milk. It's just mixed with other ingredients. As for the chocolate I think they would just buy organic chocolate syrup.

    No, but now I think they are making it with no milk and just adding milk Chocolate to attract people/ I do not think so.

    Is it dairy milk or plant milk? Dairy - absolutely not. Plant - yes, if they like it. I love chocolate made with rice milk.

    No, milk is not vegan. So they shouldn't.
