Are Penn Station’s Wraps Vegan?

According to their nutrition information, their wrap is NOT vegan. Why it is not, we’re not sure because they say it does not contain dairy.

We received an ingredient list (a very blurred list). It is confusing because on one hand it only lists wheat as an allergen but it does mention cheese in the ingredient list.

We would say to air on the side of caution with this one. You could ask additional questions at the restaurant if you want to though.

No. Penn Station offers grilled mushrooms, grilled banana peppers, grilled yellow onion and grilled green bell pepper. These are NOT vegan. They are cooked in a butter flavor that contains contains dairy and egg.
