As a food industry expert with a focus on product ingredients and dietary preferences, I can provide a detailed answer to your question regarding the vegan-friendliness of Oreo cookies.

Oreo cookies are a popular snack worldwide, but their vegan status can be a bit confusing. The original Oreo cookies, produced by Nabisco, typically contain whey, which is a dairy byproduct.
Whey is not vegan because it is derived from milk. However, there are some variations of Oreo cookies that are vegan-friendly. For instance, in some international markets, Oreo has released special editions that do not contain dairy ingredients. It's important to check the ingredients list on the packaging to determine if a particular Oreo product is vegan.

To summarize, while the standard Oreo cookies are not vegan due to the presence of whey, there are vegan alternatives available in certain regions. Always read the label to ensure the product meets your dietary requirements.
