Club Original crackers are vegan. Despite the buttery flavor, they contain no butter, milk, egg or honey. The only grey area is sugar. Club Crisps are a different product and contain dairy.
Club crackers taste so buttery that most people assume they're made with butter. They aren't. The original crackers are vegan.

How to check any cracker for animal ingredients
Crackers are usually plant-based, but a few ingredients turn up regularly:
- Butter, milk, whey, cheese and buttermilk: common in "buttery" and cheese crackers.
- Honey: in some wheat and graham crackers.
- Eggs: rare, but used in some egg-washed crackers.
- Mono- and diglycerides and sodium stearoyl lactylate: grey areas, usually plant-based.
- Vitamin D3: some fortified crackers add it.
Club's "buttery" flavor comes from oil, sugar and flavorings, which is why the Original crackers are vegan despite the taste.
The bottom line
Club Original, Multigrain and Reduced Fat crackers are vegan. Club Crisps aren't. They're a good base for vegan cheese, hummus or pico de gallo.
