Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 If you read the ingredients label and don't find any animal products, can you assume the food is vegan? I'm confused because Peter said something about cornflakes and I did not see anything in the ingredients like animal products when I read the box. Can they use them and not even list them? Does a product have to say 100% vegan (like my " butter " spread) or " certified vegan " in order to be vegan? Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Hi Chrissie There are ingredients that are not vegan but are not obviously animal Some ingredients are refined with animal ingredients but these aren't on the lists. It is like rubber gloves and condoms - the powder used on the machines is some milk derivative! Also some colourings and other small items are animal based. It is best to get a book or visit a website which will give a lot of information on non-vegan ingredients.
