Are Maggi Noodles Vegan?

We often get asked, “Are MAGGI noodles vegan?”

The answer is yes!

Both the beef and chicken-flavoured MAGGI noodles, including the cups and packs, are vegan. This might come as a surprise to some, considering the flavour profiles, but it’s true. MAGGI has crafted these popular noodle flavours without any animal-derived ingredients, making them a convenient and tasty option for vegans.

Nestlé can be quite contentious in the vegan space for reasons such as environmental concerns, ethical issues, and past controversies. Despite this, Nestlé is home to quite a few familiar brands, such as NESCAFÉ, MILO, and UNCLE TOBYS. For those who do still use Nestlé products, we thought it was important to also let you know what other products are vegan-friendly.

To provide more clarity and assurance, here’s a comprehensive list of Nestlé products confirming their vegan status as of May 2024 (Be aware this lists can change so always ask the company if you are unsure).

We hope this list can be a helpful resource for anyone looking to identify vegan-friendly options from brands you may have stopped using.

Why Some Avoid Nestlé

It’s important to acknowledge that some people aren’t supporters of the Nestlé brand, due to various ethical concerns, such as allegations of exploiting water resources, child labour issues, and aggressive marketing of infant formula in developing countries. Despite these concerns, we believe it’s crucial to highlight vegan options from all brands. By doing so, we help people make informed choices and promote the adoption of vegan products.

Final Thoughts

Although some may avoid Nestlé and other big corporations, at Let’s Go Vegan, our goal is to provide clarity on which familiar products are vegan, regardless of the company. We understand the ethical concerns surrounding large corporations, but we also recognise the importance of accessible vegan options from major brands like Hungry Jacks, Woolworths, and the like.
