(RESEARCH, AUDITS, LAB TESTS)
Vegan Certification for Coffee
Coffee that is BeVeg Certified Vegan indicates that those coffee beans are conscious, meaning that they were grown with the habitat and environment in mind. BeVeg Certified Vegan coffee beans do not exploit animals, and do not destroy our animal habitat by clearing fields to create faster growing beans, to meet demand. Civet cat poop is a common delicacy for gourmet coffee in some countries that may surreptitiously added to your coffee. BeVeg Certified Vegan coffee beans grow in the shade or in fields that were already open. It is known that coffee beans grown in the sun grow faster and can be sold quicker for money, but this is not sustainable. Furthermore, BeVeg requires all coffee producers to show proof of an annual donation to a non-profit organization that exists for the purpose of saving the rain-forest or planting more trees.
VEGAN CERTIFIED VITAMINS & SUPPLEMENTS
Looking for vitamins and supplements that are 100% free of any animal products or animal-derived ingredients is challenging. Already, the vitamin and supplements industry is less regulated than other industries and ingredient reading and research is daunting for the vegan consumer.
BeVeg is aware of the vitamin, mineral, and supplement sources to steer clear in order to maintain valid vegan label claims. For example:
- Calcium: can contain bone meal
- Provitamin A and beta carotene: can come from animal tissue
- Collagen: a protein from animal vertebrates, cysteine and L-form can come from animal amino acids
- Vitamin D: can come from animals and sheep oil
- Estrogen: may be derived from cow ovaries and pregnant mares’ urine
- Fatty acids (caprylic, myristic , oleic, palmitic, stearic, behenic) can be of animal origin
- Fish oil: a common ingredient in vitamins from marine animals
- Gelatin: a protein obtained from boiling skin, tendons, ligaments and bones of cows, pigs, horses, and other mammals
- Glutamic acid: an amino acid often extracted from animals to be used as an antioxidant
- Glycerides/Glycerine: animal fat and used in some supplements
- Lactose: dairy derivative milk sugar taken from the milk of mammals
- Lethicin (Choline, Bitartrate): exists in all living organisms and obtained for commercial purposes from eggs, nerve tissue, blood, and milk, unless made from “soy”
- Linoleic Acid: essential fatty acid from animals
- Lipase: enzyme from the stomachs and tongue glands of baby cows and lambs
- Propolis: resinous substance collected from bees
- Progesterone: steroid hormone often from animals.
- Steroids (Sterol): various animal glands.
- Tyrosine: sourced from chicken feathers.
- Vitamin A: often from fish-liver oil (e.g., shark-liver oil), egg yolks or other animal origin
- Vitamin B12: usually an animal source
