Is it vegetarian?? MAny Flavours imported from foreign countries (may be USED IN ICE CREAM) can often be non-veg. For example beta carotene(orangish red colouring) is sometimes stabilised in fish oil and gelatine (made from cow and cattle bones). This may also apply in India as well. Colourings and flavourings are 2 things which need careful research/ inquiry because many of these things can have non vegetarian ingredients.
VARAKH (silver foil/ silver paper on Indian sweets) used by ALMOST ALL SWEET SHOPS IS A FAMOUS EXAMPLE of NON VEGETARIAN additive. VARAKH is made from the intestines of cows and other cattle. Indian Airlines stopped varakh on its sweets in 1996 because it was non veg. EVEN PAVS AND MANY LOCAL BAKERY BISCUITS/ SNACKS MAY CONTAIN ANIMAL FAT (LARD).
