Following a vegan diet means eliminating any foods that contain animal products or animal bi-products, plus avoiding all foods that have been produced by exploiting animals or living creatures in any way.

Shopping for vegan foods and toiletries

Becoming a vegan and avoiding animal products may sound simple at first but animal products and bi-products can be lurking in surprising places. Take honey, for example, produced from bees, or shellac, a food glaze produced from the secretions of the lac bug, or albumen form eggs and some stearates which are milk bi-products - would you have thought of those? So to help you wade through the label quagmire we have labelled anything we find that has 'vegan' on the label or which we consider suitable for a vegan diet.

Vegan shopping made easy

We check the labels for you avoiding any animal derived product or bi-product including honey, gelatin, rennet, casein, lactose lecithin from animal sources, bone charred sugars and flours plus anything I have forgotten here that vegans don't touch. So you can expect any foods or toiletries suitable for vegans to be labelled for you, making vegan shopping online a doddle.

Vegan toiletries, cosmetics, body and hair care

The principles of veganism don't stop at what we eat. The exploitation of animals is prevalent in many other industries: cosmetics, toiletries and body care are included in these. Here we offer a range of vegan body care which is not only free of animal ingredients but has not involved animal cruelty and has not been tested on animals in its production. Such products are marked as suitable for vegans, not tested on animals, or cruelty free.

Vegans and nutrition

A well planned vegan diet can give an adequate supply of vitamins, minerals and sound nutrition. If you are new to vegan shopping just check that you are including food groups that up your intake of calcium, iodine, vitamin B12 and vitamin D. Here is a quick tip guide:

Proteins from nuts, seeds, pulses, and whole grains
Essential Fatty Acids from plant oils like rapeseed oil, flax oil (linseed oil) and hemp oil
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) from whole grains, mushrooms, almonds, leafy green vegetables and yeast extracts
Vitamin B12 from fortified foods like yeast extracts, veggie mixes, breakfast cereals and soya milks
Vitamin D from vegetable margarines, soya milk and other fortified foods and plenty of sunshine
Calcium from tofu, leafy green veg, watercress, almonds, sesame seeds, black strap molasses and hard water.
Iodine from seaweeds and other vegetables

Vegan selection and flagging

Vegans may like to consider the following lines. As many basic wholefoods, drinks, fruit and vegetables are by nature vegan we have not flagged all of these, but have restricted indication to items where alternative lines may be available which are unsuitable for vegans. Full ingredients are given on the product detail page.

Narrow Remember that once you have selected VEGAN to narrow your search you will no longer see any other products other than those marked. This may not be a problem, but just to remind you that we only mark as VEGAN relevant products and so general groceries, tea, coffee, fruit juices etc. will not be labelled so please widen your search again to view these.
