What is Veganism?
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.
A growing number of consumers are adopting a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle due to health, animal and environmental concerns. With the global rise of the vegan movement, the demand for meat-free food is growing exponentially, and vegan or vegetarian consumers want to make sure they are consuming products that are perfectly suited to their diet and lifestyle. Vegan and vegetarian tests ensure that a product is processed completely free of meat and animal-derived products.
A growing number of consumers are adopting a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle due to health, animal and environmental concerns. With the global rise of the vegan movement, the demand for meat-free food is growing exponentially. However, many products in the vegan product market cause question marks in the minds of consumers. The vegan consumer wants to make sure that the product is completely suitable for him. At this point, what the manufacturer has to do is to prove to the consumer that the product is completely vegan and to provide confidence by removing the question marks in the minds of the consumer.
So how do you know that a food product is completely vegan? Under no circumstances should the vegan product contain meat, fish, poultry, animal by-products (including silk or dyes from insects), eggs or egg products, milk or dairy products, honey or honey bee products. During the production of the vegan product, the ingredients or the finished product should not be tested on animals.
The vegan product should not contain any known GMOs or genes of animal origin used to manufacture the ingredients or finished products. Animal GMO cannot be involved in any process of vegan product production. During the production of the vegan product, there should be no animal contamination, the supplier must provide verification that animal products are not used in the production of ingredients. In order to be sure of all these, vegan product tests are needed in the laboratory. Without vegan product tests carried out in accredited laboratories, one cannot be sure that a food product is completely processed without meat and products of animal origin.
With its accredited laboratories, V-Mark can offer a DNA-based meat detection test that is ideally suited for detecting meat contamination in vegan or vegetarian products. Components that traditionally render analysis ineffective are easily detected above 0,005%, even in the presence of both milk and cheese. The due diligence of manufacturers and retailers to detect such incidental or fraudulent contamination in these products serves to secure vegans, vegetarians and ethnic groups whose religious beliefs prohibit the consumption of certain species of truly vegetarian or vegan origin food.
V-Mark has developed a series of tests for vegan and vegetarian product validation with its partner accredited laboratories. These tests allow a brand or retailers to accurately test their products and label them 100% vegan. With its team of experts in vegan testing, V-Mark can test all elements of food or cosmetics, textiles or chemical products and identify each product used, check for cross contamination in the production process and confirm whether a product is actually 100% vegan.
