In Sweden (and perhaps all of EU?) it is not allowed to say “no x” if there’s normally no “x” in that type of product, e.g glutenfree butter.
I may be wrong on this but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen some seemingly redundant “no gluten”, “lactose free” or “vegan/vegetarian” labels on a lot of products in german and austrian supermarkets. Could be that these products are labeled that way because they were made in an allergen free environment i.e. no parallel production of something containing these allergens.
Well some products one would assumes to be vegan/vegetarian normally aren’t. e.g. Wine and Cheese
Why isn’t wine vegan? Like, it’s just rotten grape juice
gelatin and isinglass are often added to remove impurities and yeast left from the fermentation. They are removed afterwards, but the wine can’t be called vegan anymore.
Oh, it’s forbidden. I always wondered why no company did that.
But why do they put “vegan” on apple juice then? Does it mean it’s bug-free?
