Vegan Certification
Get An Instant Quote
The CDG "For Vegetarian / Vegan Nutrition" product certification mark is available on a voluntary basis for companies wishing to distinguish products on the market. A common problem is that a product may seem purely vegetable, but it actually contains a hidden meat product, like gelatin. This is often used in fruit juices and beers. Therefore, although it is not part of the final product, it has been put into contact with plant-based consumer products. In other examples, the wine can be clarified using egg white and anchovies added to the sauces to give a tasty and sour note.

The Vegan certification eliminates the need to analyze the list of ingredients of each product purchased on the market. In fact, the list of ingredients may not contain all the information necessary to make an informed decision. This is where certified vegan products can help you as a consumer.
CDG-VEGAN was created to promote the interests and concerns of the people and organizations involved in the conservation, propagation and distribution of vegetarian ideas and products. The main objective of CDG is to provide a widely recognized certification program that allows individuals concerned with the plant side to make specific decisions about personal care and beauty, so that they can rely on their selection and the manufacturer’s claims.
