Benefits of CGA Vegan Certification
Vegan certification has become one of the most sought-after third-party certifications as a consequence of rising conscious consumerism. Manufacturers and brands that carry a third-party audited vegan certification symbol stand out in both local and export markets. Here are the core benefits of vegan certification:
Build Consumer Trust
A third-party audited vegan certification builds confidence that your product is 100% free from animal ingredients, testing, and exploitation, without any greenwashing.
Competitive Advantage
Vegan certification helps consumers stand out from competitors. As more brands claim to be “plant-based”, a 100% verified vegan certification becomes a crucial trust signal.
Helps Open Access to Markets
Vegan certification also helps open doors to major markets. CGA’s Vegan Certification helps brands expand their product’s placement and export potential.
