If you're trying to cut meat out of the equation completely, watch out for these 10 sneaky foods.

The article from CNET titled "I Was Shocked to Learn These 10 Foods Aren't Vegetarian" reveals that several common foods often mistakenly thought to be vegetarian actually contain animal-derived ingredients. These include Worcestershire sauce, which contains anchovies; certain types of red candy and drinks that use carmine, a red dye made from crushed cochineal insects; some types of cheese that use animal rennet; marshmallows that contain gelatin derived from animal bones and connective tissue; and certain beers and wines that use isinglass, a substance derived from fish bladders, for clarification. Other surprising non-vegetarian foods listed are some types of bread that may contain L-cysteine from duck feathers or human hair, Caesar dressing with anchovies, certain sweets with gelatin, and even some types of vegetable shortening that may contain animal fats. The article emphasizes the importance of checking ingredient labels to ensure dietary preferences are met.
