Do you know the difference between a ‘free-from’ and ‘vegan’ label?
A ‘free-from’ label guarantees the product doesn’t contain the specified allergen. To use this label, food businesses must follow strict processes to ensure the allergen isn’t present.
However, these rules don’t apply to vegan or plant-based products, which means there could be a chance of cross-contamination with allergens such as milk, eggs, fish or shellfish.
Don’t take the risk. Always read the label.
