PETA-Approved Vegan - Stricters (2024)

FAQs

What does PETA approve vegan? ›

Products with the PETA-Approved Vegan label must be completely animal product free: that means that no animal substances may be used in production. The product is cruelty free.

No, but since the best thing anyone can do to help animals is not to eat them, we encourage everyone to go vegan. Most people—not just animal rights activists—no longer have an appetite for animal flesh, milk, and eggs after learning about the suffering of animals in the agricultural industry.

PETA's “Beauty without Bunnies” program may not be the most reliable resource for determining a brand's cruelty-free status. While its mission is commendable, its certification standards are less rigorous than Leaping Bunny's. For example, PETA has certified brands that were sold in China before its laws were relaxed.

In order to be listed by PETA or carry the “Animal Test–Free” logo or the “PETA Approved Global Animal Test Policy” logo, companies and brands must commit never to conduct, commission, pay for, or allow tests on animals at any phase of development, for both ingredients and final products.

while cruelty-free, some products may not be vegan due to the inclusion of animal-derived components. According to BRC (British Retail Consortium) guidelines, vegan products should offer alternatives to traditionally animal-derived materials or ingredients.

Going vegan is one of the best things you can do to help stop animal cruelty. By refusing to pay for animal products, you reduce the demand for them, which ensures fewer animals are bred to suffer and die on farms and in slaughterhouses.

In general, the answer is yes. However, many vegans avoid exotic animals, including birds and fish. These animals live substantially different lives in the wild. Therefore, keeping them in small tanks or cages often feels inappropriate to vegans.

Is CeraVe Cruelty-Free Certified? No, CeraVe is not certified by any organization. Companies can be fully cruelty-free without being certified, but certifications are a good indicator of their ethical practices. The most trusted organizations that give out certifications are PETA and Leaping Bunny.

Is PETA against all pets? ›

Please be assured that PETA does not oppose kind people who share their lives and homes with animal companions whom they love, treat well, and care for properly. However, we very much oppose the puppy mills and private breeders that supply many companion animals; PETA is absolutely opposed to all breeding.

Helping to reduce world hunger: Each person who goes vegan spares nearly 200 animals per year. In addition, redirecting grain to feed humans instead of animals raised for food could feed an additional 3.5 billion people each year, helping to ease global hunger.

Although veganism and cruelty-free living share many of the same concepts, they are not implemented in the same ways, and meeting a cruelty-free certification does not automatically mean the product is also vegan.

Animals kill other animals for food, so why shouldn't we? Most of the animals who kill for food could not survive if they didn't do so. On the other hand, we can easily survive on a plant-based diet. We are better off not eating meat.
