According to Instagram account Vegan Food UK, McVities Original Digestives are now suitable for vegans, following a recent change in the recipe.

Until recently, the biscuits contain skimmed milk, but McVities have now removed this ingredient making them suitable for vegans, which is good news for those who enjoy a cheesecake as these crumbly biscuits make the perfect biscuit base.

Whilst the recipe has now been changed, Vegan Food UK warned customers to double-check the packaging before purchasing as stores may still be selling off old stock.

For those who enjoy chocolate digestive biscuits, Tesco supermarket offers dark chocolate coated digestive biscuits which are suitable for vegans.

McVities Original Digestives joins the growing number of accidentally vegan biscuits available in supermarkets, including treats such as  Oreos, Crawford’s Pink Wafers, Fox’s Party Rings, McVities Hobnobs and Bourbon Creams.
