Rejected petition Products with vegan on the label must adhere to vegan ethics
Rejected on
Many people buy gifts for vegans and don't understand all the loopholes companies use to mislead people, if vegan is mentioned on a label it should adhere to the vegan philosophy. Using vegan formula when product isn't vegan is false labelling and too misleading.
Garnier is an example of a company misleading consumers with advertising vegan products with a slight addition to the vegan description so the product isn't vegan at all.
