As always I’ve highlighted the ingredients that we need to take a closer look at.
Questionable Ingredients
Brown Sugar
Brown sugar vegan-friendly, but some of sugar that you might find in snacks and candy might not be. A popular sugar is refined cane sugar and in the refining process the sugar is bleached to fit the products better. This is where it can become a problem for vegans.
A common practice to bleach cane sugar is to use bone char from dead cows. This would make the sugar non-vegan and a lot of vegans tends to stay away from cane sugar because of this.
Natural Flavors
This ingredient is a tricky ingredient for many vegans, because a lot of companies uses natural flavors to add ingredients without needing to disclose them on the label. So both ingredients derived from animals and plants can be put here.
