What is veganism?
"Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to excludeโas far as is possible and practicableโall forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms, it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."
What is The Vegan Society?
Managed by The Vegan Society, The Vegan Trademark helps consumers identify products that are free from animal ingredients. First introduced in 1990, it currently appears on over 53,000 products in 79 countries, including food, drink, cosmetics, clothing, and household items.
Vegan Society Trademark Standards that ROCOL was able to meet:
No animal or animal derivatives in product or manufacturing process.
No Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) involving animals โ No GMOs at all is preferred.

Vegan materials to be prepared separately from non-vegan - Relevant for food producers.

Now, The Vegan Trademark.

What do vegans eat?
Vegans eat everything and anything that comes from plants: fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, grains, seeds, and pulses. Your favourite quick lunch of beans on toast? Vegan. That packet of salt and vinegar crisps you selected for your morning snack? Vegan. The falafel you grabbed at lunchtime? Vegan. The fruit salad you had for dessert? Vegan. Even some of the biscuit packets lying about in your kitchen cupboard could be vegan. Vegan food is everywhere.
More than 580,00 people from over 200 countries signed up to last yearโs Veganuary campaign, with over 825 new vegan products and menus launched. Organizers have reported that 82% of participants maintained a dramatic reduction in animal-based product consumption long after Veganuary was over, with 30% maintaining a fully vegan diet following the month-long pledge.
