Standards and labels

Standards have not been specified

• EU Ecolabel

  The EU Ecolabel is a certification mark used in Europe for products that have been assessed for their environmental performance. It is used to indicate that a product has been evaluated against a set of environmental criteria set by the European Union, such as energy and resource efficiency, and that it has been found to be among the top-performing products in its category in terms of sustainability. The requirements for using the EU Ecolabel will vary depending on the product category, but typically include meeting certain environmental performance standards, such as the use of renewable resources and recycling, and undergoing regular monitoring and re-evaluation by an independent certifying body.

• Vegan

  Vegan refers to a lifestyle and diet that excludes all forms of animal exploitation, including the use of animal products, such as meat, dairy, eggs and honey. Vegan products are free from any animal-derived ingredients. In Europe, there are no specific requirements for labeling a product as vegan, but some countries have their own regulations for food labeling. The EU has an overview of the food labeling regulations that are in place, but these regulations do not specifically mention "vegan" as a label. However, a product can't be labeled as vegan if it contains any animal-derived ingredients. The Vegan Society and the European Vegetarian Union provide vegan certification for products that meet their criteria.
