Can an AI scanner guarantee that a product is vegan?

No. Packaging, recipes, processing aids, and cross-contamination can be unclear. Always verify the ingredient list and manufacturer information when certainty matters.

Which non-vegan ingredients should I watch for?

Common examples include milk derivatives, eggs, gelatin, honey, shellac, carmine, and some ambiguous additives or flavorings.

Is Veg AI useful for new vegans?

Yes. Veg AI is designed to make quick checks easier and help users learn which ingredients may need a closer look.
