Vegan Certificate

Before talking about the vegan certificate and the certification process, let´s look at what the term vegan means. As Aşan Consulting, we provide you with the documents you need related to vegan in a short time.

What is Vegan?

Veganism is accepted as a diet in which animal products are not preferred and vegetarianism has become a culture and lifestyle. The word vegetarian was coined by Elsie Shrigley and Donald Watson. An approach where people completely remove animal products from their diets and environments and prefer plant-based foods and products as their main source of nutrition is defined as "vegan" or "veganism". The idea of a vegan diet is based on religious beliefs as well as the desire to live a healthy life, love of animals and avoiding animal cruelty. With the spread of international communication, millions of people around the world have adopted veganism and this has become a culture in itself. The vegan nutrition culture, which appeals to millions of people, eventually created its own food market. Since vegans do not prefer textiles, shoes, leather products, chemical and cosmetic products and animal products in the pharmaceutical sector, apart from the food sector, manufacturers have started to produce products suitable for vegan lifestyle in the relevant sectors and have offered these preferences to the market.

What is Vegan Certification?

In today´s world, where the demand for vegan products is increasing rapidly, the product presentation of vegan food culture has increased and diversified. Such a situation necessitated the supervision of authorities specialized in veganism in addition to the usual control mechanisms. Regardless of whether all products from food to cosmetics are produced in the environment according to the requirements of vegan or vegetarian culture, it stands out among the organizations that carry out, control, record, monitor the market and carry out activities that will ensure the safe transfer of this culture to the future.

The inspection and verification process consists of a long process that includes production, product and content stages, visual and experimental methods and due diligence. At the end of this process, organizations that receive a positive evaluation receive a vegan certificate.

How Long Does It Take to Get Vegan Certification?

The certification process consists of receiving the application, controls and evaluations, and elimination of deviations found as a result of audits. This process can take about 3-6 weeks. The vegan certification process can take up to 13 weeks, depending on the process and the nature of the product.

How Does the Vegan Certification Audit Process Work?

Depending on the product range of the company, the inspection is carried out between the organization that carries out the certification process and the inspection department, on the day determined by the contract, for at least 1 day. In vegan certification audits, the inspector reviews production process, infrastructure, environment and product (final product) test reports. If non-compliance with the standards is detected as a result of the audit, the company is informed about this issue. The manufacturer is informed that the observed deviations must be corrected within 3 months at the latest, and the inspection is completed with the submission of the inspection report.

In cases where there is a possible certificate non-compliance problem, the process is as follows; certified organizations must always fulfill the conditions they undertake and fulfill when they receive the vegan certificate. Vegan producers face the problem of revoking the vegan certificate mainly in case of non-compliance with the procedures and misleading information. After the certificate is revoked, consumers are notified of the situation. You can support leaving a healthier and more sustainable world by getting this important document.
