As always I’ve highlighted the ingredients that we need to take a closer look at.
Non-Vegan Ingredients
Milk
Since the milk comes from cow’s it’s not a vegan ingredient.
Questionable Ingredients
Sugar
Sugar can be somewhat of a tricky ingredient vegans because there is an instance where this ingredient could be classified as non-vegan. The two most common types of sugar are cane sugar and beet sugar. Cane sugar is the most popular one in candy and snack.
This can cause problems for vegans because the cane sugar is often refined to better fit the products and in this process the sugar is also bleached. A very common method is to use bone char from dead cows and this does not align with veganism.
Natural Flavors
Natural flavors is an umbrella term, meaning that it can consist of several ingredients without the source of these ingredient ever being disclosed on the ingredients label. This means that ingredients sourced from animals could be used and this can trick vegans to thinking that natural flavors is vegan-friendly from reading the ingredients label.
Conclusion
It’s so amazing that so many flavors of Bolthouse Farms beverages are vegan-friendly and delicious I might add. I love starting my day with a immunity boost and so does my wife.
Thanks for reading, take care!
