Vegan: The Ingredients That Actually Catch People
Nobody who has been vegan for a month is confused about gelatin. The ingredients that catch people are the ones that do not read as animal products at all — a vitamin, a colouring, a dough conditioner, a filtration step that leaves nothing behind.
The recurring ones: vitamin D3, usually from lanolin in sheep's wool, where D2 is fungal; cochineal and carmine, which are insect-derived red colourings; L-cysteine, a dough conditioner that can come from feathers; isinglass, a fish-derived fining agent in some beers and wines; and cane sugar filtered through bone char, which leaves no animal matter in the product but is an animal-derived process. Each of these has a plant-derived equivalent, so the same product name from two manufacturers can land differently. That is why these pages check the list rather than the category.
