Example label
Vegan sausage roll label example
A vegan sausage roll still needs a full ingredients list. Butter pastry would break the vegan claim and add milk; a vegetable-fat pastry is wheat and sometimes soya. The filling is often soya or wheat protein, with celery in the seasoning.

The label
Ingredients (teaching narrative)
Wheat flour, vegetable fat (soya lecithin), soya protein, onion, celery, sage.
- Wheat — pastry
- Soya — fat or the sausage filling
- Celery — if the seasoning contains it
What this teaches
Do not copy a pork sausage-roll label. Sulphites may disappear and soya may appear. Vegan is a claim; the ingredients list is the legal allergen information.
Is this PPDS?
Rolls bagged before sale are PPDS, vegan or not.
Questions
Is a vegan roll free of the 14 allergens?
