Re: Pizza-Hut beef base for tomato sauce?
There is a web page dedicated to "What's in fast food?"
http://www.umanitoba.ca/arrs/VRG/fast.html
Here's the entry for Pizza Hut:
PIZZA HUT: Pizza Hut Pan Crust contains whey, but the Thin'n Crispy Crust and
Hand-Tossed Crust are vegan. Whey is also found in the breadsticks. Their sauce
contains cheese flavor from natural Parme-san and MSG. The cheese used on the
pizzas is made with synthetic rennet. A salad bar is available at some locations
and includes tossed salad, fruit, and cheese. If it is at all possible for them
to modify items on their menu to make them vegetarian, they will.
The comment about the sauce containing cheese flavor might be what you're
looking for. Then again, the above information might need changing or updating!
It would be good to follow-up on that letter from the Pizza Hut rep!
