New research has revealed that over a third of food products labelled as vegan in the UK contain animal ingredients, raising concerns about potential dangers for individuals with severe allergies.
A recent investigation conducted by Hampshire and Kent Scientific Services found that, out of 61 products labelled as vegan, 39% (24 products) contained traces of egg or dairy.
These included 13 dairy alternatives and 48 meat alternatives.
Shockingly, 90% of the analysed products were deemed “unsatisfactory” due to the presence of dairy traces or inaccuracies in their labelling and nutritional information.
