Natural Sources and the Vegan Diet
Natural sources are ingredients that are derived from nature, including both plant-based and animal-based substances. This term is commonly used on food labels to indicate that the ingredient is not synthetically produced. However, the lack of specificity regarding the origin can cause confusion, especially for individuals with dietary restrictions such as veganism. Without explicit labeling, it's often necessary to contact the manufacturer to determine whether the natural source is vegan-friendly.
