I found out Oreos were Vegan by BuzzFeed's video:
I thought Nabisco was
the manufacturer of Oreos but on my packaging it said "Mondelēz International so I had a trawl on the web.

Best selling cookie in
the United States
The "Oreo Biscuit" was first developed and produced by the National Biscuit Company (today known as Nabisco) in 1912"
The name Oreo was first trademarked on March 14, 1912.
It was launched as an
imitation of the Hydrox cookie manufactured by Sunshine company,
introduced in 1908.
Oreo was inspired by the Hydrox, yet
Hydrox suffered from the impression of being the knockoff
Original Oreo recipe used lard!
The origin of the name Oreo is unknown but I like this one:
Greek word 'Oreo', meaning beautiful, nice or well done
Mondelēz International, Inc. is an American multinational confectionery, food and beverage conglomerate.
The Mondelēz name, adopted in 2012, came from the input of Kraft Foods employees at the time, a combination of the words for "world" and "delicious" in romance languages.
Nabisco; the company is
a subsidiary of Illinois-based Mondelēz International
And therein answers my question!
Review:
Pros:
Vegan ingredients but
(see Cons)
Good crunch
Crème stops it
becoming too dry
Cons:
I checked faq from
Oreo.co.uk
Is Oreo suitable for
vegans?
Oreo is not suitable
for Vegans as they have the cross contact of Milk.
Minor Musing
It tastes to me like a
Chocolate version of a Custard Cream biscuit.
Very surprised to see
it was Vegan. I looked at Lidl's Neo ingredients and it
contains whey so stick with the original!
Nope, never dunked in milk (of any form) Great as they are.
Costs around 9p a biscuit with 53 calories.
