Most sugar in the US is refined using charred animal bones, so they are not vegetarian or vegan. Sugars that are vegan are: all organic sugars, unbleached cane sugar, demerara sugar, granulated cane juice and turbanado sugar.

∙ 11y ago"Sugar" generally refers to granulated or table sugar. Essentially all sugar is vegan. All major sources of sugar come from plants such as sugar cane, sugar beets, or corn (think corn syrup). No major sources of sugar are derived from animals. In theory you could come up with a method to extract sugars from animals, but it is extremely doubtful that anyone could come up with an economically viable way to do it in bulk.

Is the sugar in Kahlua vegan?
Someone previously responded "Sugar is obviously vegan." This is not necessarily the case. Bone char is used in the sugar refining industry. Unfortunately I cannot answer the original question but was concerned that the blanket statement that "(s)ugar is obviously vegan" is at the very least misleading to those who do not use bone char processed sugar.
What is in vegan powdered sugar?
powdered sugar is simply white table sugar that has been pulverized. traditional cane sugar (as opposed to beet sugar) is refined through charcoal, which some times consists of bone char from animals. vegans are opposed to this because it means an animal product is part of the process of creating the sugar. vegan powdered sugar is made with unrefined sugar that has been pulverized with corn starch, in order to simulate the consistency of non-vegan powdered sugar.
