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.

Is baking powder vegan?

Usually not.Pure powdered (or confectioner's) sugar will compose solely of sugar and thus will have no grain (and thus, no gluten) in it. However, most packages of powdered sugar (including all US-sold packages according to research) will add in some corn starch to help keep the sugar powdery. Corn starch does contain some gluten; however, it's a different kind of gluten than that normally associated with celiac disease. Check with your doctor.
