The number of products including sweets, seasonings, main dishes, and emergency food which have received vegan certification from VegeProject has been increasing.

VegeProject’s mark certifies that the products do not contain any animal-based ingredients and do not perform animal experiments in the manufacturing process.

Let’s take a look at six products with this vegan mark.

Vegan Sweets

This cute vegan cake does not use wheat, dairy, eggs, other animal-based ingredients, white sugar, food preservatives, or food color.
It comes in three flavors: banana, matcha, and chocolate.

Vegan Meat

Tapro 80（Koshoku Co.,Ltd. ）

The soy meat market has been growing in recent years. However, Tapro 80 has been on the market since 1980.
Unlike animal-based meat, it has zero cholesterol and is lower in calories.
Also, it does not use any genetically modified ingredients.
Tapro 80 is dried soy meat and has a long shelf life. After you prepare this soy meat by soaking it in hot water prior to cooking, Tapro 80 will expand 1.5 times its original (in dried form) size.

These plant-based meats, developed and manufactured in Thailand, went on sale in Japan this year.

Makonbu Dashi, the seaweed stock from Hokkaido, has refined sweetness and deep flavor.
It uses seaweed named makonbu, which is known as a luxury food in the Hakodate region in Hokkaido.
