Frequently asked questions
How does PlatePal decide if something is vegan?
Our pages read the current ingredient list for a named market and look for meat, dairy, egg, honey, gelatin and insect derived colors such as carmine. A product with none of them reads as vegan by ingredients. We also report any milk cross contact statement the maker publishes, because that matters to many vegans and to anyone with a milk allergy.
What does accidentally vegan mean?
A product with no animal ingredient that is not marketed or certified as vegan. Many US chips, cookies and candies qualify. The catch is that the maker has made no promise, so a recipe change or a shared line can change the answer.
Is gelatin ever vegan?
No. Gelatin is animal collagen from skin, hide or bone, fish included. A product sold as vegan gelatin uses a plant stand in such as agar or pectin instead.
Is a vegan product also halal or kosher?
Not automatically. Halal and kosher also turn on alcohol, certification and how a product was made. The accidentally vegan snacks list shows the halal read and the kosher symbol next to each vegan product.
What this page is not
Allergens. PlatePal screens ingredient data, so this page is information and not medical advice. A recipe can change before the data does, and shared equipment never appears in an ingredient list. Always read the label on the package in your hand, and follow your allergist or doctor over any app.
Religious status. A screening result is not a religious ruling. Certifiers and schools of thought differ, and PlatePal does not rank them. For anything you hold yourself strictly to, ask a qualified authority or the certifier you already follow.
