Inspirations, as well as tips and tricks for your vegan Halloween
I am a self-confessed Halloween fan and I have to always remember the one party. Back then, when I was still in Regensburg I was invited to a Halloween party. Trimmed and dressed up as a creepy mythical creature, I set out and didn’t really have any great expectations. Then when I was in the WG I could hardly believe my eyes when I arrived. The decoration was so brilliant and I immediately sunk into the Halloween dream world. Each room was a world of its own and time has flown by. At some point it was 8h in the morning and I thought to myself, wow, I could use a party like that more often.
At that time, I didn’t really think about my diet. I’ve always been an organic shopper, but I didn’t have the connection to food. vegan food I did not have. Animal gelatin in gummy bears? I didn’t have that on my radar at the time. That’s why today I’m writing my small but mighty guide to a vegan Halloween. You also have ideas, tips and tricks? Then feel free to write me below in the comments.
What Halloween candy is vegan?
The good news first! By now, it’s not that hard to spot vegan sweets, because most manufacturers label the products with the V-Label . The times when you could only get vegan sweets in the small organic store around the corner (admission only with Birkenstocks) are definitely over. In every supermarket and discount store there are numerous products that are completely without “animal”.
What ingredients can be found in NON vegan sweets?
- Milk, casein or other milk components
- Beeswax
- Gelatin (obtained from animal bones)
- carmine (a red dye obtained by extraction from the scale insect)
- Shellac (a glossy coating obtained from the excretions of the lacquer scale insect).
TIP: Take a close look at the packaging and buy products with the V-label in the vegan category. The V-Label tests products at all stages of production and processing for compliance with the criteria, so it also takes into account substances that do not have to be declared on the list of ingredients. Caution. The seal in the vegetarian category looks almost the same. Best to look twice. Some manufacturers such as VEGANCE produce exclusively vegan products, here you can be sure that everything is 100% plant-based.
