That fat doesn’t even have to be grown in a lab. Fazeli’s company, Choppy, is adding byproducts of the meat industry — like fat, collagen and broth components — into plant-based products. For most vegetarians and vegans, that would make their products a no-go. But Fazeli and his co-founder, Brice Klein, aren’t necessarily looking for vegetarian buyers.

Industrial food manufacturers have been using broths and animal fat in plant based products for years, such as the seasoning in cup noodles, ramen flavor packets, flavored rice mixes, and stove top stuffing mixes.
But those were always labeled as chicken flavored, beef flavored, turkey flavored.
They admit that by adding in meat byproducts they're no longer looking for vegetarian buyers. And no wonder, considering just how small of a niche vegetarians and vegans are.
But it does make me wonder how they're going to label these foods so that the vegetarians and vegans don't have a complete hissy-fit about formerly vegan food being adulterated with animal products.
