What is the Vegan label?
The Vegan label is a certification that a product contains no ingredients of animal origin and has not been tested on animals.
It applies mainly to food, cosmetics and textiles, and guarantees production that respects animals and the environment.
This internationally recognized label enables consumers to choose products that correspond to a vegan lifestyle.
The history of the Vegan label
The Vegan Society, pioneers of the vegan movement, created the first official label in 1944.
Since then, several vegan certifications have been developed around the world, guaranteeing products that conform to the principles of the vegan diet and lifestyle.
Today, the Vegan label is a pledge of quality and transparency for consumers wishing to avoid any ingredient or process of animal origin.
What are the Vegan label criteria?
To obtain Vegan certification, a product must comply with strict rules:
- Total absence of ingredients of animal origin (meat, milk, eggs, honey, gelatin, etc.).
- No animal testing at any stage of production
- No animal by-products (animal fats, carmine, beeswax, etc.)
- Use of plant-based and natural alternatives
- Rigorous controls and regular audits
These requirements guarantee that vegan products are ethical, transparent and consistent with an animal-cruelty-free lifestyle.
How is the Vegan label awarded?
The Vegan label is awarded following a strict process:
- Application: The producer submits an application to a certification body.
- Verification of ingredients: Analysis of product components to ensure that it is 100% plant-based.
- Control of manufacturing methods: Verification that production is free from animal contamination.
