As a food science expert with a focus on dietary preferences and restrictions, I can provide a detailed answer to your question about the vegan status of Oreo cookies.

Oreo cookies are not considered vegan because they contain ingredients that are not vegan-friendly. The most notable of these is casein, which is a protein derived from milk. Casein is often used in the cream filling of Oreo cookies to provide a rich, creamy texture. Additionally, Oreos may contain other non-vegan ingredients such as honey or ingredients that may have come into contact with animal products during processing, such as certain enzymes used in the leavening process.

It's important to note that the vegan diet excludes all animal-derived products, not just meat, but also dairy, eggs, and any other substances derived from animals. Therefore, because Oreos contain casein and potentially other non-vegan ingredients, they do not meet the criteria for a vegan diet.
