Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 The situation regarding sugar according to the Vegan Shopper is... " Sugar. Bone char is sometimes used as a decolourant in sugar production. However, the largest suppliers of sugar in the UK - British Sugar, Tat & Lyle and Billington - do not use any animal-derived ingredients (except for Tate & Lyle Traditional Royal Icing which contains egg white powder). Billington supplies Sainsbury's, Tesco, Safeway and Waitrose with their own label unrefined sugars. Whitworths no longer use animal derivatives in the processing of their sugars. Merryfield supplies Aldi supermarkets and its demerara and granulated sugars are suitable for vegans. " Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 Not necessarily. Don't forget, you get "organic" animal meat.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 >>Presumably any 'organic' sugar would be vegan? >Not necessarily. Don't forget, you get " organic " animal meat. I think when it comes to additives they are generally not organic so things that have been filtered in such ways would generally be vegan. Certainly I know that organic beers can't have been filtered using isinglass because it can't be certified organic. Don't take my word that all suitable organic things are vegan though, as Viv says you can get organic products which are not vegan.
