"Without an accredited vegan certificate, vegan claims are pointless as they are made without a standard or definition to refer to. With all trusted trademark symbols conforming to a single global vegan standard, the consumer gains confidence in the products and services used," Lima Certification said in a press release.

BeVeg helps to prevent and reduce consumable products and services of animal origin, to avoid animal exploitation, and to minimise the possibility of any cross-contamination with animal material. The standard has applications in many areas including textiles.
