I'm.not disputing the merit of the error, but after recent news of meat-eaters facing potential prosecution because of our choice, here is just another step towards the vegan dictatorship taking place.

"People can be allergic to pork and potentially die from such a stupid mistake"

People with such unfortunate life threatening conditions can just avoid places that specialise in sausage rolls tbh. Sucks to be them but that's natural selection for you

Daily Mail link? Move on... nothing to see here.

As a vegan she should well know that to ask for a ‘sausage roll’ at Greggs means she will be given one with pork sausage meat. I am surprised though that the first words out of her mouth as soon as she got to the counter weren’t ‘I’m a vegan’

For allergy sufferers this is a valid issue however this one says she's "poisoned for life" and "traumatised for life" she does like to milk the "life" thing.

She's eaten meat up to the age of 18 so I am sure she's not poisoned or traumatised for life. Get the **** over it.

It's a daily mail article. They know their audience and it's just bait for them to go off on one about vegans, as evidenced by this thread.

Report says she only stopped eating meat 2 years ago.

Maybe she already has nightmares about the 18 years she spent as non vegan....

It is pretty upsetting for a vegetarian to eat meat (to that vegetarian).

They should not have served her a pork sausage roll if they asked for a veggie one.

I'd hate to be that fragile - or maybe I'd love to be that fragile because it's a sign of how comfortable life must be.

Has a neighbour said how much is her house is worth yet?

something daft already!! · 27 Sep 2019 at 10:24

Well I am hardly surprised she has been traumatised for life over a sausage roll from Greggs. The mere thought of entering that place fills me with dread and fear.

builder22 · 27 Sep 2019 at 10:28

What a silly sausage

They do lovely baguettes and sandwiches, I particularly like the Chipotle Steak one at the moment. (heated of course)

"Pink Jammie" donuts are awesome too.

I doubt there's much meat in a greggs sausage roll anyway

Yaayuh! · 27 Sep 2019 at 10:47

Nice sensationalist DM piece of non-newsworthy crap targetting the easily triggered again, causing overreactions of plebs.

But yes, quite a silly sausage indeed.

To be fair to Greggs, after they introduced the Vegan Sausage Roll they saw a 58% increase in first half profits.

Nasher · 27 Sep 2019 at 10:55

Traumatized for life lol

I actually quite like the vegan sausage roll. At least its not a mystery meat 'sausage' roll

Drumroll · 27 Sep 2019 at 11:04

The company is, as many others, guilty for using such terms that more often than not cause misinterpretation. The government should ban terms like vegan sausage, vegan bacon, plant based meat. If isn't the real thing, shouldn't be called as such. And on a busy environment, an employee overworked and multitasking would just hear: sausage roll.

SkeeterUK · 27 Sep 2019 at 11:13

Allergic to pork and die, lol yeah im not sure that's even possible.

My guess is she saw the news about the other thing where someone actually died from a allergy and is trying to scam to get on tele or some money. There will be others that try this no doubt. Anyhow, Gregs do nice sausage rolls, better than supermarket ones at least imo. Tho the ultimate ones are from Mullins bakers in the north east. Those are yum as heck.

I do agree with Michael above, about the naming of things vegan.
