Is Ben's Original Bistro Express Jambalaya Style Vegan?

Description
Savory Cajun-inspired flavor with a moist, slightly saucy rice texture; commonly served as a quick standalone microwaveable meal or paired with proteins and vegetables. Reviewers often cite convenience, consistent seasoning, and satisfying spice level, while some note variable rice tenderness and occasional unevenly distributed sauce in individual portions and reheating.

What is a Vegan diet?
A vegan diet excludes all animal-derived foods, including meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, and honey. It focuses on plant-based sources such as fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Many people choose veganism for ethical, environmental, or health reasons. When well-planned, it provides sufficient protein, fiber, and antioxidants, though supplementation or fortified foods may be needed for nutrients like vitamin B12, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids. Vegan diets are associated with lower risks of heart disease and improved digestion but require mindfulness to ensure balanced and complete nutrition.
