More ironic vegan/non-vegan food items

Why is it...

...that Worcester Sauce flavour crisps are suitable for vegans but Henderson's Relish ones aren't? I spotted some Henderson's Relish flavoured crisps in Beanies the other day, got all excited about it, looked at the ingredients in that cynical, vegan way of mine which expects anything tasty-looking to have unnecessary animal products shoved into the ingredients somewhere and yes, they contain lactose. Coincidentally, I got some Walkers Worcester Sauce flavour crisps at the weekend and they were suitable for vegans as they used 'worcester sauce flavouring' which didn't contain fish and they hadn't used milk in the ingredients.

On its own, Henderson's Relish is vegan and Worcester Sauce isn't vegan or vegetarian as it contains fish, and I normally promote Hendo's to friends, family and random strangers on the internet as a vegan alternative to Worcester Sauce, so it's kind of ironic that the Worcester Sauce crisps are vegan and the Henderson's ones aren't. Hmm, maybe I should just make some potato wedges and coat them in Hendo's instead...
