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.

Yes, turbinado is vegan. It is often used as a replacement for refined granulated white sugar in recipes.
