Are Snyder’s Pretzels Vegan?
Some flavors of Snyder’s pretzels are vegan while others are not. Check out which flavors of Synder’s Pretzels are vegan below…

The vegan pretzel flavors include at the time of post publication:
- Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzel Pieces, Jalepeno – this is EXTREMELY exciting as most chip and pretzel flavors out there include some form of dairy especially in jalapeno flavors. Sydners has created a zesty pretzel piece that will add a pop of flavor into your vegan lifestyle!
- Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzel Pieces, Hot Buffalo Wing – This is also exciting if you like the perky pep of a buffalo sauce but you are practicing compassionate eating. This accidentally vegan snack might be what your taste buds are craving!
- Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzels, Peanut Butter Filled – The peanut butter isn’t the highest quality but at least this snack from Synder’s is vegan unlike many other peanut butter snacks.
- Synder’s Original Pretzel Rods and Mini Twists – these classics are also vegan. So if you’re looking for a traditional salty and crunchy snack that’s vegan and that you could easily serve at parties and get-togethers that would feed the masses, consider Synder’s original pretzels.
The other thing to keep in mind that if you see Synder’s or other pretzel brands offering a new flavor you are unfamiliar with, I encourage you to check the label and look at the allergy statement for “CONTAINS: DAIRY.” If you don’t see that, that’s an easy way to tell if pretzels and snack foods are vegan. You may notice the “D” on the front of the package. Something to keep in mind…an “OU-D” symbol indicates a kosher dairy product, which contains a dairy ingredient or a dairy derivative, or was made on equipment also used for making dairy products. So a kosher dairy certified product can be dairy-free and vegan by ingredients but may still share equipment with products that contain dairy ingredients.
Also, if you are eating a soft baked pretzel, ask the employee if they add butter to the dough or on top when baking. Some do, some don’t but you won’t know if you don’t ask. And who knows…you may even find a new favorite bread snack food that’s also vegan!
As a vegan, I love this snack (Hot Buffalo Wing flavour Snyder pretzels) but on my bag it says “Dairy”??
It’s under the circled U…I see on the bag above it just shows the letter D?
I read the ingredients and don’t see any dairy listed, but wondered why it said Dairy on the front of the bag? (I’m in Canada)
Hi Sheila, thanks for pointing that out. The D on the front of the package indicates a kosher dairy product, which contains a dairy ingredient or a dairy derivative, or was made on equipment also used for making dairy products. So a kosher dairy certified product can be dairy-free by ingredients and therefore vegan – tricky I know!
I loved these snacks until I realised some of the E numbers tend to be derived from animal products, such as E631, and acid often produced from meat and/or fish
