About

Candy is a delicious treat that can satisfy any sweet tooth. But, vegans must make sure they choose candy that is animal-free to avoid harming animals and the environment.

Many popular candies contain animal products like gelatin, dairy, and eggs. And since candy companies do not always have strict policies in place, they can cross-contaminate their candies with these ingredients.

But vegans can still enjoy their favorite candies without the use of dairy, gelatin, or carmine. With a little detective work, you can find plenty of vegan alternatives to your favorite chocolate bars, gummies, and chewy candies.
