V-Label (vegan)

What this package mark assures, what it does not, and where the rules come from.

Issuer

V-Label.eu / European Vegetarian Union licensing

Legal or private

Private certification

Kind

Vegan

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.

Vegetarian

What it assures

Packaged food is marked vegetarian under Indian food labelling rules: a green filled circle inside a square outline.

What it does not assure

It does not mean vegan. Dairy, honey, and other animal products allowed under the vegetarian definition may still be present.

Traces / shared lines

Not a vegan or allergen-trace mark

The legal mark classifies vegetarian vs non-vegetarian composition. It is not an allergen or shared-line statement.
