Reliable sources for "Is X Vegan" searches?

Post date: 2018-05-16 11:23:45

I eat primarily vegan*. The internet is full of nonsense when it comes to food ingredients. Beyond contacting a company and my own knowledge, is there a reliable source of some kind for checking this stuff?

*For example, I'm fine with honey and bug-derived ingredients. Therefore a flat yes/no for vegan may not be helpful. There are also animal products in my medications that are unavoidable.

A big issue I've seen is people speculating where the enrichments like vitamin D come from or that the off-the-shelf food doesn't even qualify as "food" so don't eat it. Or that sugar can be processed with bone char so no sugar EVER!

Basically, I don't want to directly eat dead animals, dairy, or egg products.

Is there any sort of reliable source for this stuff beyond doing my best to search or just read ingredients for gelatin and such? A better search term? Hidden non-vegan stuff to add to my ingredient-reading list? Good lists of "accidentally" vegan foods?
