Earth Grown Plant-Based Meatless Burgers

From Aldi’s. They were pretty good but… I’m not sure these are vegan despite claiming to be plant-based. It doesn’t state that they are vegan on the box like some of their other products do. I found the following on the Aldi’s website which makes no sense to me…

“Our Promise: All our Earth Grown products are free from animal products, including meat, poultry and seafood, and our vegan items are also free from substances produced by animals – such as eggs, dairy, honey, gelatin and lanolin.”

The possible offender on the ingredient list that I see is natural flavors. I assume there’s no legal definition of Plant-Based and companies can use it how they like.
