How to use this tool
Ask any direct vegan question — like 'Is honey vegan?' or 'Are figs vegan?' — and get an immediate answer. We search our database first, then provide preliminary guidance when no verified entry exists.
How it works
- Type your question in plain language.
- We classify the query and search relevant databases.
- Verified matches return evidence-backed answers.
- Unmatched queries get a preliminary interpretation marked as unverified.
How to interpret the result
- Database matches are more reliable than preliminary-only answers.
- Look for confidence scores and source information.
- Preliminary answers include a clear unverified warning.
- Complex questions may need ingredient-level checking.
Important limitations
- Preliminary results are marked as unverified and should not replace reading the actual label.
- Formulations change by country, brand, and over time — always check your specific product.
- We do not have access to proprietary manufacturer data unless it is publicly available.
