And why does Oreo call it “creme” and not “cream”?
They spell it “creme”.
Without any animal or dairy products, these chocolate sandwich cookies are now basicallyvegan.
An Oreo cookie split into the cookie side and the “creme” side. Oreo has to call the white center “creme” instead of “cream” because the FDA does not allow manufacturers to use the word “cream” to describe a food that contains no cream at all.
(We saybasicallybecause there can be some cross-contamination with milk during production).
In 1997, Nabisco switched to a vegan (and kosher) option by using vegetable oils.
Because of this scandal, it was unveiled that Nabisco used ascary additivecalled titanium dioxide in the cookie center.

The cookie might have a scandalous past, but don’t we all?
Beware, though, of portion control, since Oreos are one theworld’s most addictive foods.
