What To Consider When Buying Vegan Products

Posted by Anna Paquin on June 7th, 2021

It is vital that adhere to the necessary precautions and guidelines when buying vegan products in Sri Lanka.  

 Many products are now labeled as vegan due to the rising demand for vegan products.

Looking for a sticker that says "Suitable For Vegans" or a "Certified Vegan" tag is the best way to tell whether a food is vegan. Scanning the 'Allergen Details' is another easy process. If the substance includes dairy, eggs, or fish, the allergen ingredients list will say so. Look for the Green Dot to see if it's vegetarian.

If the first two methods don't yield results, look at the 'Ingredients List.' You will look for non-vegan ingredients and substances in this section. So what can you be on the lookout for? Animal products and animal extracts can be used in perhaps the most seemingly harmless products, such as cookies and cosmetics.

Remember, whether you're eating animal or insect-derived foods owing to a lack of knowledge, ignorance isn't bliss. Not only can these ingredients damage the many organisms that are used for mass consumption, but they can also have a detrimental impact on the body at the cellular level. However, when you obtain more "Vegan XP," screening these non-vegan ingredients becomes simpler.

If you're still unsure, do a fast internet check or contact the maker directly. Many businesses provide a declaration or may have a list on their websites. Smartphone apps, such as Is It Vegan?, are also available. Remember that there are certain 'rules' to following when purchasing vegan-friendly products.

Use our Local Contacts to find a vegan community in your city. Share what you eat, try out new recipes, and help vegan-friendly restaurants in your area. When dining with friends, I've made some amazing discoveries.
