Those of us who are vegetarian or vegan, know a lot about food… and we love our candy too! We are very mindful of what we eat and where it comes from, so we have to also be mindful of our sweets… and we love ‘em!
There are many candies out there that are not vegan or vegetarian friendly, because of some of their ingredients. Many people know that vegans don’t eat honey, but did you know that many candies have gelatin or even confectioner’s sugar and that those ingredients are animal-sourced? That's right!
Other ingredients vegans and vegetarians watch for in the ingredients list of a candy package, which some candy manufacturers may use, include:
- Carmine or cochineal
- Beeswax
- Lactic Acid
- Whey
- Casein
- Castoreum
- Lactose
- Oleic acid (or oleic acid)
- Lard
- Shellac
- Bone char
