Vegan Certification

Vegan Certification: Why It Matters

For consumers, a vegan certification logo makes shopping easy, removing the need to check ingredient lists. Displaying a credible, trusted vegan trademark on packaging and marketing materials gives consumers confidence that a product meets strict vegan-certified standards.

By partnering with an existing, highly-regarded certifier you can rely on their authority and focus on what you do best – creating and marketing amazing products. Whether food and drink, cosmetics, homewares, fashion or textiles - adding a vegan logo from a recognised trademark can boost sales and add consumer trust.

For businesses, adding a widely recognised vegan brandmark helps products stand out in the growing plant-based market. Numerous surveys show that conscious consumers trust official vegan certification symbols considerably more than a manufacturer’s own claims.

Introducing V-Label: The Gold Standard in Vegan Certification

Australian Vegan Society recommends V-Label - a globally recognised vegan certification that helps businesses build trust with consumers while making plant-based shopping easier. Established in 1996, it has been the best-in-class vegan trademark for nearly 30 years.
  • Internationally Recognised – the V-Label vegan logo is trusted worldwide, registered in over 70 countries across five continents.
  • Trusted by Thousands of Brands – over 50,000 products from 4,300 businesses are V-Label certified globally.
  • Clear Consumer Guidance – acts as a reliable vegan brandmark for those looking for 100% plant-based products, including vegans, flexitarians, reducetarians, and dairy-free shoppers.
Numerous major brands like Ben & Jerry’s, Hellmann’s, and Dr. Oetker use V-Label’s vegan certification to showcase their vegan-certified products, making it easier for consumers looking for 100% plant-based, animal-free options to find and trust them. By certifying your products with V-Label, you align with a trusted global standard that reassures customers and strengthens your brand’s reputation.

  • Strict Certification Criteria – ensures that certified products contain no animal ingredients and are not tested on animals at any stage.
  • Boosts Brand Trust & Transparency – studies show that consumers trust official vegan certification more than self-declared vegan claims.
