Vegan Verification

Test, verify and certify vegan chemicals

Vegan Verification is an innovative programme from Eurofins | Chem-MAP® which risk assesses materials and components, as well as providing testing of chemicals and materials, to establish whether any animal or by-products have been used.

Vegan Verification helps manufacturers, brands and retailers to correctly specify materials using a phased approach, covering the manufacture of materials, chemical management, risk assessment, and testing to achieve vegan certification of materials.
