How to Read Vegan Labels on Food, Clothing, and Cosmetics
To read a vegan label, first define the claim you need.
Vegan, cruelty-free, plant-based, natural, and sustainable are not interchangeable claims. Define the concern, find the evidence, and ask the company when the label runs out of nouns.
People practise veganism under different constraints. Clear information supports choices better than policing a stranger’s shoes from across the bus.
