Is-Vegan helps you to find out which food ingredients are vegan /
non-vegan. It can answer that on 1 ingredient or on a list of
ingredients. It uses a 850+ entries list of non-vegan ingredients.
We are aware that 'veganism' and the definition of it can be a hot
topic. We created the non-vegan list keeping in mind that veganism in
dietary terms, it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products
derived wholly or partly from animals.
Our first step is the approach to help people understand, which
products, and where applicable its ingredients, do not involve, or have
involved, the use of any animal product, by-product or derivative. It is
not driven about any vegan lifestyle choice or stereotype.
We welcome and appreciate any help and concerence regarding the
nonvegan/canbevegan list.
Currently we are unfortunatly not adressing any other forms of
exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for clothing, cosmetics or any
other purpose.
Thank you all for your comments, we appreciate the discussion, as we grow and learn from your input.
We want to make sure that you understand how is-vegan is implemented.
We analyzed as many good information websites for vegan / non-vegan
ingredients as we found to get a very accurate list of ingredients. However, feel free to send a pull request with an updated version of the list.
