Vegans need to be careful here. A few common foods and drinks may after all have an animal source.


Beer and Wines: Fish bladders may be used during the brewing process or for dining of the drink.


Processed sugars: Few of them refine the sugars using bone char from imported cow bones.


Cheeses: Certain cheeses have rennet which is taken from calves’ stomachs.


Chips and wafers: A few manufacturers use lard that is derived from fatty tissue of pigs.


Candies: Few candies may contain gelatin derived from animal body parts.


Vanilla ice cream: Many international brands use castoreum as an ingredient that comes from the castor sac, a scent gland beavers use to mark their territory.


Thus, it is imperative for Vegetarians to check the symbols before a purchase.
