Ive heard that sugar isn vegan because it is processed through a filter made from animal bones. Whats up with that?
The filter is usually referred to as a ‘bone-char’ filter, and yes, some sugar companies still use one. More and more sugar companies are replacing their bone-char filters with synthetic ones and the only way to know for sure is to directly contact the company you buy your sugar from. Celeste’s Best doesn’t use sugar that has been processed using a bone-char filter. For more info on this and some interesting thoughts, check out www.veganmania.com/pages/sugar.
