The Non-Profit Vegan Certification Association verifies Vegan Certification according to JAS Standard 0025, specifically under the provisions 4 and 5 of “Processed Foods Suitable for Vegetarians or Vegans.” This verification is conducted through document review (submission of supporting documents). The association provides the ‘Vegan Certification Mark’ as a private certification.
