Wondering

Veganism, or veganism, more than just a diet, is a philosophy and lifestyle that seeks to exclude all forms of exploitation and persecution of animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.

To explain very fundamentally, vegetarianism is to adopt a diet that does not contain animal food, to act consciously on issues such as the sanctity of living life and the sustainability of nature.

Vegetarian diets vary based on the foods they contain and exclude. Vegetarian diet types are; Lacto-vegetarian, Ovo-vegetarian, Lacto-ovo, Pescatary and Vegan

Vegan diets only involve eating directly plants (such as vegetables, grains, nuts and fruits) or foods made from plants. As it is known, vegans never consume meat, nor do they eat foods from animals such as dairy products and eggs.

Many vegans avoid eating honey because commercial honey farming can harm the health of bees. The main function of honey is to provide bees with carbohydrates and other essential nutrients such as amino acids, antioxidants and natural antibiotics.

The vegan certification process can take from 1 week to 8 weeks, depending on the production conditions of the product. It all depends on the components, processes, suppliers and how well the suppliers communicate and how quickly the V-Mark expert team responds to their demands.

V-Mark vegan vegetarian certified products can use the V-Mark vegan vegetarian logo on their packaging, so vegan consumers around the world can get the product they buy with confidence and confidence.

Vegan Vegetarian Certificate ensures that the vegan or vegetarian consumer can safely select products suitable for their lifestyle at a glance. Therefore, it can be used for any product that can be proved by various tests and conformity audits and that we can encounter in our daily life.

The vegan certificate is a certificate issued by accredited organizations to products that do not contain an animal ingredient and that are proven by various conformity assessments and tests in their production that no animal is exposed to any exploitation.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to be sure whether the product is vegan unless there is a vegan symbol certified by an accredited and fully independent organization such as the V-Mark. The most logical thing to do is to reach out directly to the manufacturing companies and ask; however, there is no certainty that you will get an honest answer.
