@OfShad0ws @shauny often, it’s not that straightforward. Different companies will rent the same production facilities. The facility and the owning company itself doesn’t produce anything food or animal related.

Of course there are companies like vbites and Quorn which run their own production facilities (Quorn however do use egg and milk in a lot of their products but not meat), but smaller conpanies can’t always afford to.

@OfShad0ws @shauny there’s hesitation to label things vegan here because of the risk of allergy related lawsuit, but the reality is people choosing a vegan lifestyle (as opposed to a plant based diet) are doing so for ethical reasons that are unrelated by cross contamination. That’s why companies feel more emboldened to label as vegan despite xcontamination risk.

Allergy sufferers relying on vegan labelling instead of allergen warnings are playing a dangerous game.
