Ethical Consumer Tips:
- “Plant Basedβ does not mean vegan.
- If a brand uses the term βvegetarianβ to describe their products it is another red flag because it is usually not vegan and allows for beeswax, honey, milk, lanolin and more animal ingredients.
- If a brand has a special, separate vegan category that implies other products are not vegan.
- Greenwashing is when brands make themselves look good but hide unethical aspects pertaining to sustainability, veganism, health and the like. Sadly, itβs such common practice that there is now a dedicated term for the self vindicating marketing style.
- Be skeptical of marketing strategies that use the color green on packaging or terms like eco friendly, sustainable, organic, natural that might make a brand seem ethical when they might not be.
- Itβs great that many brands now offer vegan products but itβs always best to support 100% fully vegan brands that do not profit from and continue to fund animal agriculture in any way.
