How our answers should work

Answers should focus on animal-derived ingredients, hidden additives, and common recipe variations so the verdict is actually useful.

Some foods are vegan only in certain brands, countries, or versions. Those differences should be clearly labeled.

Whenever a food is not vegan, the page should suggest vegan replacements, ingredient swaps, or ordering tips.
