Hi everyone. thank you for the great questions and I will work my way through them, but first I want to deal with the hot topic of your concern about the “may contain” message.
Huel is still absolutely vegan, don’t worry! As Hunzas has linked to, the Vegan Society says “they are not against foods labelled as vegan also carrying a ‘may contain’ warning about animal allergens.”
We have put the statement “may contain: Crustaceans, Fish, Molluscs (from Kelp)” because it’s a legal requirement due to how kelp is harvested. But we have tested our kelp multiple times and each test has come back so small that the testing equipment can’t measure it. However, because they are allergens we want to be extra cautious.
Kelp will not be added to Huel Bars, Ready-to-drink, or Granola.
