Is M&M's Peanut Vegan?

Description
Small, candy-coated pieces combine a crunchy, colorful shell with a smooth interior surrounding a crunchy, nutty core, creating contrast between crisp and soft textures and sweet-salty balance. Commonly eaten straight, shared at gatherings, used in baking or as ice-cream topping; reviewers praise flavor while noting occasional variability in center size.

What is a Vegan diet?
A vegan diet excludes all animal-derived foods, including meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, and honey. It focuses on plant-based sources such as fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Many people choose veganism for ethical, environmental, or health reasons. When well-planned, it provides sufficient protein, fiber, and antioxidants, though supplementation or fortified foods may be needed for nutrients like vitamin B12, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids. Vegan diets are associated with lower risks of heart disease and improved digestion but require mindfulness to ensure balanced and complete nutrition.
