Questions
Does usually mean every pack is plant-based?
No. Usually means the common pattern. Always read the ingredients. Brands and countries differ.
How is this different from restaurant dishes?
This tool covers food groups you buy or cook at home. Restaurant dishes have their own pages under dishes.
Where do brand products and additives go?
Brand barcodes are under products. Single additives and hidden ingredients are under hidden ingredients.
Why show animal parts?
The small chart lists typical animal-derived parts that can appear. Labels and symbols carry the meaning, not color alone.
