Is Hershey’s Syrup Vegan?

When you think of chocolate syrup, Hershey is probably the first brand that comes to mind. Everyone knows that milk chocolate contains dairy, but you might be surprised to learn Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup doesn’t contain milk or any other animal ingredients, which means Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup is vegan. While Hershey is most famous for their chocolate syrup, they also make strawberry and caramel syrup. Hershey’s Strawberry Syrup is also dairy-free and vegan, but Hershey’s Caramel Syrup is not vegan because it contains skim milk.
