As always I’ve highlighted the ingredients that we need to take a closer look at.
Questionable Ingredients
Soybeans
Soy can cause problem for vegans when GMO’s are involved. In the US, soy is one of the most common GMO crops and the problem is that it requires a high amount of herbicide to grow properly. Why would this be a problem?
The reason is that the herbicide can pollute the surrounding ecosystem and cause severe damage to the environment. Many vegans tends to look for products that has the label non GMO project. This ensures the consumer that the ingredients in the product does not come from GMO’s.
