Food & ingredients
Packaged foods and ingredients, checked for animal-derived additives, dairy, egg, honey and bone-char-filtered sugar.
What we certify
From food to fabrics, we certify it vegan.
Validated Vegan certifies individual products in virtually every category where animal ingredients, by-products or testing could play a part — and the seal can be used on certified products anywhere in the world.
Product categories
Products we certify
Each category has its own hidden animal inputs. Our audit is built to find them.
Beverages, wine & spirits
Drinks verified free of animal-based fining, filtering, clarifying and defoaming agents.
Cosmetics & personal care
Make-up, skincare and toiletries verified free of animal ingredients and animal testing.
Supplements & vitamins
Capsules, coatings and cultures checked for gelatin, animal strains and animal-origin media.
Household cleaning
Cleaning products verified free of animal-derived ingredients and animal testing.
Textiles, apparel & more
Fabrics and goods free of wool, silk, leather, down and other animal-sourced materials — and even artwork.
Scope
We certify products — not companies.
Every certification applies to a specific product, so the seal on a label always means that product has been checked.
We do not certify
Whole companies, manufacturers, distributors, kitchens, restaurants, food trucks, farms, people, organisations or websites.
Fresh produce
Fruits and vegetables are certified only when they are packaged.
Not eligible
Products containing human-derived ingredients, or whose main ingredient is animal remains such as shells.
Multiple brands
Brands under one parent company can each be certified, with a separate application and licence per brand.
