Why does the packaging say vegan?

There are many reasons why people choose a vegan lifestyle. Even if you choose to eat vegan occasionally, it is helpful to be able to spot the vegan claim on your snack or food product. This way, you can be sure that what you eat contains no animal-derived ingredients.

The vegan lifestyle

What is the difference between a vegetarian and a vegan lifestyle? People who eat vegan consume no animal-derived products at all, so no eggs, dairy products like cheese and milk, eggs, etc., while vegetarians limit themselves to avoiding meat, fish, and poultry.

Because it can sometimes be difficult to identify animal-derived ingredients on food labels, it can be very useful to rely on the claim vegan.

Animal products are often found in foods where you wouldn’t expect them. And misleading labels can cause confusion. Many baking and frying products, for example, state on their label that they are a “plant-based product”, while they still contain animal fats or milk components. Whey, milk powder, butterfat, and whey powder, for example, are animal-derived products.
