Trademark FAQs

We offer a unique product checking service, with years of experience, to ensure that your product’s vegan claim is valid and authentic. As the charity that coined the term vegan, we are the experts in this field.

Our Vegan Trademark holders benefit in a multitude of ways. From credible brand awareness, market insights, and access to the vegan community to discounted advertising opportunities, social media promotion, competitions, and product exposure at events.

We register any company that produces vegan-friendly products. We aim to make the Vegan Trademark accessible to everyone whose products fit our specific criteria. This includes products containing no animal ingredients, vegan processing aids used in manufacturing, and ingredients that have never been tested on animals on behalf of the manufacturer.

Our experienced officers will guide you through the four-step process of registering your products with the Vegan Trademark. If you'd like more details about registering with us, please watch our Introduction Webinar.

Please allow between 30 and 60 working days. This is dependent on the complexity of your application and the efficiency of communication channels.

If you have any deadlines, please let us know and we will always do our best to work with you to meet them. We are happy to work directly with your suppliers on the registration.

As many as you want! There's no limit.

We know how helpful it is to have menu items clearly labelled when customers are looking for something to eat or drink. That's why we register individual menu items and dishes to demonstrate that they are suitable for vegans.

To register your dishes, you must have a stable and traceable supply chain for your ingredients. If this is likely to change regularly or you are unable to contact the suppliers of your ingredients, The Vegan Society’s trademark would not be suitable.

We also consider cross contamination as an integral part of menu item registration. Here is a short video about our cross contamination minimisation standards.

We have two different ways of working with supermarkets – either directly through yourselves or through your suppliers. Please get in touch to find out more!
