Vegan - Non-Vegan Ingredients
Gelatin: A protein obtained by boiling the skin, connective tissue, or bones of cows or pigs. It is an edible form of collagen. It is used in cooking as a gelling agent, stabilizer, or thickener. It is also used in adhesives, photographic film, matches, sandpaper, some non-alcoholic beverages, playing cards, and crepe paper. It is not vegan. Glucono-delta-lactone: Also known as gluconolactone or GDL. A fine, white, acidic powder. It is mostly produced by the oxidation of glucose by microorganisms. It should be verified whether it is plant-based.
Gluconolactone: Glucono-delta-lactone. It should be verified whether it is plant-based.
Glucose: A simple sugar typically produced by the hydrolysis of starch with mineral acids. The starches used include corn, rice, wheat, potatoes, and arrowroot. It is also produced synthetically or by adding crystallized sugarcane to a mixture of alcohol and acid. In some countries (such as the U.S.), glucose is passed through bone char filters. It should be verified whether it is plant-based.
Glucose isomerase: An enzyme derived from the bacterium Streptomyces rubiginosus. It is used in the production of fructose syrups (including high-fructose corn syrup) by converting glucose into fructose. It is vegan.
Glucosamine: A dietary supplement used to help alleviate joint problems. It is typically derived from the tissues of shellfish. It can also be derived from corn or produced synthetically. It should be verified whether it is plant-based.
Glycerin/Glycerol: A clear, colorless liquid obtained by adding alkalis (solutions with a pH greater than 7) to solid and solid-state fats; it is a byproduct of the soap-making process. It can be synthesized from propylene, derived from animal fats, or obtained through the fermentation of sugars. Vegetable glycerin is derived from vegetable oils. It should be verified whether it is plant-based.
Glycine: An amino acid obtained through the hydrolysis of proteins. It should be verified whether it is plant-based.
Guanine/Pearl Extract: Derived from fish scales. Not vegan.
Guar Gum: A gum made from ground guar seeds. Vegan.
Gum Arabic/Gum Acacia: A natural gum produced by the acacia tree to heal its bark when injured. It is used in cosmetics, confectionery, syrups, and as an adhesive. It is vegan.
Leather: Animal hide (raw or tanned). Not vegan.
High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS): Produced by processing cornstarch to yield glucose. This glucose is then processed with enzymes to increase the fructose content, making it sweeter. HFCS contains nearly equal amounts of fructose and glucose and is mostly produced from genetically modified corn. It is vegan.
Honey: Food produced by bees to feed themselves. It is not vegan.
Hydrochloric acid: Formed by heating hydrogen and chlorine gases to produce hydrogen chloride gas, which is then absorbed in water. It is vegan.
Hydroxypropyl cellulose: A cellulose derivative. It is used as a thickener in foods and for coating films and tablets. It is vegan.
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC): Derived from cellulose treated with an alkali that reacts with methyl chloride and propylene oxide. It can be used as an alternative to gelatin in hard capsules. It is vegan.
Inositol: A sugar-like dietary supplement in the B-vitamin complex. It is informally known as vitamin B8. It is found in nearly all plant and animal tissues. Commercially, it can be obtained from both animal and plant sources (particularly corn). It should be verified whether it is plant-based.
Insulin: From the pancreas of cattle, sheep, or pigs. Commercially available human insulin is vegan. It should be verified whether it is plant-based.
Inulin: A naturally occurring carbohydrate found in the roots and tubers of many plants. It is typically extracted from chicory root. It is vegan.
Isinglass: A highly pure gelatin derived from the swim bladders of certain freshwater fish, primarily sturgeon. It is not vegan.
Katsuobushi (okaka): A staple ingredient in Japanese cuisine. It is made by drying tuna or bonito into hard blocks and then shaving them into flakes using a special tool. It is used as a seasoning or filling in many Japanese dishes. It is the main ingredient in dashi. Not vegan.
Keratin: A protein found in hair, hooves, horns, and feathers. Not vegan.
