Questions

Why is there a third answer?

Many foods change by country, brand, or kitchen. 'It depends' is often correct, and the flip side explains why.

Do you claim a brand is vegan forever?

No. Each card cites a source and an as-of date. Formulas change. Check the current label.

Where do the cards come from?

A curated pool with public sources. Cards without a source URL and date are not shown in the quiz.
