Vegan Product Audit Process

Follow the hidden processing input

In a hypothetical drink, filtration or clarification uses an aid absent from the consumer label. Ask the manufacturer for material identity, origin and actual process use and link the answer to the product version. Review shared-contact controls and the chosen programme’s relevant testing responsibilities. Do not call the product accepted because its advertised ingredients are botanical.

Programme conditions and worked assessment

Example: A business sends ten product names without formula versions or shared-material identities. Build a product/formula/supplier matrix. Direct origin and processing questions to the relevant manufacturer and attach each reply to the correct material. Explain testing responsibilities and shared-production controls. Answer programme questions with versioned records, then compare the final licence list and label permission with the finished products. Downloading a logo or paying an application fee is not permission by itself; keep approval and subsequent changes explicitly recorded.

Evidence and authority boundary

The Vegan Society is an example source; no Kayra/QRS programme authority is asserted. Missing supplier information affects timing; neither allergen freedom nor a positive outcome is guaranteed.
