Veganism and vegetarianism in Germany - statistics & facts
Germany provides clear definitions of vegan and vegetarian for consumers and producers alike. Vegan products do not include any components of animal origin, also not during manufacturing and processing. Vegetarian items, while not being products of animal origin either, may contain milk, foremilk, farm poultry eggs, bee honey, beeswax, propolis or wool grease from wool off living sheep during production. Both terms relate not only to food items, but also to other consumer goods which traditionally involved using animals.
