Is Gold Medal vegan?
Most standard Gold Medal flours and mixes are plant-based and suitable for vegans, but products are not labeled as vegan and some specialty mixes may contain dairy or eggs.
Vegan means no animal-derived ingredients — beeswax, lanolin, carmine, collagen, silk or milk proteins — anywhere in the formula. It is a separate claim from cruelty-free, and a brand can be one without the other.
