Vegans do not eat, use or buy things that contain any animal products.

So, they do not eat meat, eggs, dairy or honey.

Some items are harder to spot as non-vegan than others.

Whey is milk protein and is found in many breads and in some fake meat products.

Confectioner's glaze is made from bugs and is found on many candies, like sprinkles for ice cream.

Cochineal and carmine are red food colors that are made from bugs and are found in yogurts and even Campari liquor.

Beeswax is often used to polish fruit, like apples.

Isinglass is made from dried fish bladders and is used to clarify beer and wine.

Albumen is a form of protein found in egg whites. This is also used to clarify beer or wine. (However, yeasts can also produce some albumen, so not all albumen containing beers are non-vegan.)

Gelatin is made from boiled animal bones and skin, this is often found in desserts and candies, like gummy bears, and also as the capsule for many pills.

Many sugars are whitened by filtering them through bone char (burned animal bones). So, unless a sugar is labelled vegan, it is best to use a natural color of sugar rather than bright white.
