V-MARK VEGAN CERTIFICATION

V-MARK VEGAN CERTIFICATION

V-Mark is an internationally recognized vegan certification symbol, administered by the Vegan Society, that verifies a product's compliance with vegan standards. This symbol indicates that the product does not contain animal products or by-products and has not been tested on animals at any stage of the production process.

The requirements for obtaining V-Mark Vegan Certification are:

• No Animal Products: The product must not contain any animal products or by-products, including meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, or honey. It must also not contain materials derived from animals, such as leather, fur, silk, or wool.

• No Animal Testing: The product and its ingredients must not have been tested on animals by the manufacturer, by any party on behalf of the manufacturer, or by any independent party within the manufacturer's control.

• No Animal-Derived GMOs: The product must not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that include animal genes or animal-derived substances. Products containing GMO ingredients must not involve animal products or by-products in their development or production.

• Cross-Contamination: Efforts must be made to minimize the risk of cross-contamination with non-vegan products. Thorough cleaning of production equipment and handling vegan products separately from non-vegan products are minimum requirements.
  
  

The V-Mark symbol is made easily visible on packaging, helping consumers quickly identify vegan products and make informed purchasing decisions. The V-Mark vegan certification is a trusted mark for those who embrace a vegan lifestyle, ensuring them that the product conforms to strict vegan standards.

The V-Mark vegan certification offers companies advantages in terms of accessing the vegan market, increasing consumer confidence, and demonstrating their commitment to producing products ethically and transparently.
