VEGANISM is becoming increasingly popular, with more than 500,000 people having gone vegan in the UK according to a recent poll.

Yet despite this growing popularity, most supermarkets fail to label food that is suitable for vegans, forcing us to laboriously check ingredient lists to find out which products are suitable.

That is why Animal Aid has launched the Mark It Vegan campaign, calling on supermarkets that don’t already do so to label their vegan-friendly own-brand products.

In one week 5,000 people have signed our petition.
