Is Eggo Waffles Vegan?
Not Vegan
Not certifiedEvery standard Eggo waffle variety contains eggs, and most also include whey or buttermilk. Homestyle, Buttermilk, Thick and Fluffy, Blueberry, Strawberry, and Chocolatey Chip varieties all list eggs as an ingredient. Buttermilk varieties add buttermilk on top of that. There are no mainstream Eggo varieties that are free of animal ingredients.
The catch: Eggs appear in every single Eggo variety, and dairy (whey or buttermilk) shows up in most of them. Even the "plain" Homestyle version contains both.

Buttermilk Waffles swap whey for buttermilk but still include eggs. Thick and Fluffy Original includes eggs and whey.
Fruit varieties (Blueberry, Strawberry) carry eggs as well. Protein-fortified varieties add whey protein on top.
There is no Eggo product currently marketed as vegan or plant-based. " Palm oil (used in the vegetable oil blend) may be an additional concern for some vegans on environmental grounds, though it is not an animal-derived ingredient.
