What it assures
Product meets the V-Label vegan criteria published by the scheme, including no animal ingredients as defined there.
What it does not assure
It is not a government mark. Scope details (processing aids, shared lines) follow the current V-Label standard, not a national vegan law.
Traces / shared lines

Trace exclusion is not a simple on-pack promise

Cross-contact rules are set in the private standard. Read the current V-Label criteria; do not assume allergen-style trace exclusion.
