We Certify Vegan Products!
The population of Poland embracing a more plant-based diet is growing. Research showed that in 2021, about 7.5% of the Polish population was vegan and vegetarian, showing a rising trend towards more sustainable and compassionate food choices. Today, about 37% of adults in Poland try to limit meat, mainly for health. Restaurants have added more vegetarian options appearing on menus. While vegan and vegetarian diets do have their differences, Poland is gradually showing an embrace of a more sustainable and compassionate food choice.
Vegan Certificate Requirements
To receive the Vegan Certificate, there are standards that a product must meet. In the vegan verification process, it must be verified that the product does not contain any animal ingredients or animal by-products, and no animal testing. The vegan certificate is available for food products and non-food products Products Must Contain:
No meat, fish, fowl, or animal by-products.
No eggs or egg products.
No milk or milk products.
No honey or honey bee products.
No insects or insect products.
No sugar or sweeteners that has been filtered with bone char.
No liquids such as juices, syrup, beer, or wine, are filtered, defoamed, or clarified with animal products or animal by-products.
NO animal skin, angora, bone, cashmere, down, feathers, fur, horn, leather, mohair, shearling, shell, silk, suede, or wool.
Manufacturers need to ensure that there is a cleaning and sanitation of machinery, equipment, and surfaces to minimize contamination of non-vegan products.
How does the process work?
We provide the vegan certification logo for both consumable and non-consumable items. Products do not have to be food or nutrition items. We certify durable goods, such as clothing. The verification process is the same for both consumable and non-consumable items. The initiation of the Vegan Verified certification process begins with an inspection of all ingredients in the product, manufacturing protocols, if animal testing was conducted, utilization of shared equipment during manufacturing, and the potential for inadvertent cross-contamination. The initial stage in the certification process is completing the essential documentation forms provided by Vegan Verified, along with a nonrefundable fee. If the product is certified vegan, a certification fee is renewed annually for each product.

Vegan Certification Logo
Submitting an application doesn't automatically give permission to use the Logo. It's just the start of the verification process. After you submit the application, it usually takes around 30 days for the verification process. When it gets approved, that's when you'll be allowed to use the vegan certification logo. Remember, you can't change or use the Vegan Verified Certification Logo without getting permission first.
