The bakery chain has faced backlash over the claim.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Greggs store has been called out for allegedly marking a \u2018Pigs Under Blankets\u2019 baguette as vegan-friendly.<\/p>\n

The sandwich contains pork sausages and smoked bacon \u2013 making it unsuitable for those on a plant-based<\/a> diet.<\/p>\n

The claims have come from the Instagram account, Now You Know It’s Vegan<\/a> after one of their followers sent in this image:<\/p>\n

The account has gained over 85,000 followers from sharing photos of new releases.<\/p>\n

We asked some Londoners what they thought:<\/p>\n

Kavi Thobhani, 20 said: \u201cVegans are pretty accustomed to reading everything in detail anyway out of sheer paranoia, so this would probably just double up the distrust.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lia Buckley, 21 said: “I think it’s so bad for vegans who put their trust into a product only for it to be a meat product.”<\/p>\n

Emma Chapman, 20 said: “I understand that mistakes happen, but I also understand why vegans would be angry. It shouldn’t happen.”<\/p>\n

Greggs have a range of vegan options to choose from, including sausage rolls, steak bakes and doughnuts.<\/p>\n
