Veganissimo A To Z
Veganissimo A To Z: A Comprehensive Guide to Identifying and Avoiding Ingredients of Animal Origin in Everyday Products is an essential new resource for vegans as well as everyone who wants to know exactly what is in the items they eat, drink, and use. There are 2,500 detailed A-to-Z entries on ingredients that can be or are derived from animals in food and countless other everyday products.
Products like dietary supplements, beer and wine, and even electronics can all include animal-derived components, and Veganissimo A to Z will help the aspiring veganissimo (a vegan to the max!) to steer clear of those products and reduce his or her “animal footprint.”
The book includes more than 2,500 animal, mineral, chemical, and plant-based ingredients, and detailed descriptions of their production, uses, and alternative names. It also covers animal-derived ingredients found not only in foods but also in dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, beer and wine, cosmetics, household cleaning products, clothing, footwear, sporting goods, art supplies, electronics, and more
