These are Ezekiel English muffins, not the "regular" type. There is no
dairy or egg. However, they do have sprouted soybeans, just like the bread,
so you would not be able to use them (probably not a lot because soybeans
are the last item on the list of ingredients other than yeast and sea
salt--I don't know how susceptible you are to them).
