Important: Food Labelling Forum (before 21st Jan)

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

apparently they're reviewing food labelling standards,

so won't you take a moment to tell them you want

clearer labelling of foods suitable for vegans - or

alternatively labels such as " Contains cows milk " ,

" Contains eggs " etc? The latter option has the added

advantage of helping out those with food allergies or

religious stipulations. And it might also make life

easier for future vegans too eh?

Here in the States, some companies do have at the bottom of the

ingredient list that it contains milk/eggs/wheat/soy--whatever

potentional allergens it may have, which makes my life easier. I

also check the cholesterol count, 'cause if it's not 0, it ain't

vegan. Course, not all cholesterol-free products are vegan, but it's

not a bad first step.

 

You still have to check for bee products, though, as they apparently

are not considered allergens.
