What is vegan food?

Vegan food processing refers to the production of food products made exclusively from plant-based ingredients, excluding all animal-derived components such as meat, dairy, eggs, and honey. The process involves sourcing raw materials like grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and plant-based proteins, which are then cleaned, processed, and formulated into a wide range of products including meat alternatives, dairy substitutes, snacks, and ready-to-eat meals. Various techniques such as extrusion, fermentation, blending, fortification, and preservation are used to improve taste, texture, and nutritional content. Strict quality control and labeling practices are followed to meet vegan standards and ensure safety, sustainability, and consumer trust.
