It’s the most important shopping trip of the year! 

But as we all know, it can also be a difficult one, with so many potential issues. 

So what should you look out for when you’re heading out shopping? 

Let’s take a look at what you need to know before you make your shopping trip. 

1. 

Where can you buy vegan food?

Vegan food stores have become so popular, it’s hard to keep up with what’s out there! 

If you’re a new vegan, you may not be able to shop anywhere else! 

For example, many vegans will visit a vegan restaurant or vegan market to buy a vegan menu, and there’s also the option of purchasing the full range of vegan foods from the likes of Foodland and Foodmart. 

2. 

What if I don’t have the right insurance? 

Vegan insurance can be pricey. 

For some, it may not even cover the purchase of all the foods listed in your policy. 

If your insurance does cover some of the vegan products, you might be able to get a premium discount. 

3. 

Can I use vegan products if I’m pregnant? 

You can. 

In many countries, vegan products can be used in food as a form of birth control or preventative medicine. 

There are vegan products available from manufacturers such as the OmniGard, Placenta, and Omega. 

4. 

I don’t feel like I’m eating vegan food, is there anything I can do? 

There’s nothing wrong with not eating vegan. 

Some vegans find that a lack of nutrients from animal products can cause their bodies to react differently to the nutrients they consume. 

They might experience weight loss, headaches, fatigue, or an increased risk of cancer. 

5. 

Is there anything vegan-friendly in the supermarket? 

As the name suggests, Vegan Foods are all about being 100% vegan.

This means that all of their products are made with vegan ingredients, and vegan-free products are also available. 

It’s also worth noting that they will offer the most vegan foods for the most money, as there’s a lot of profit involved. 

6. 

Do I need to buy vegan products to stay vegan? 

Some people may not like the idea of buying vegan products when they’re travelling. 

But if you’re thinking of making a vegan-centric shopping trip, you can definitely get the most out of the experience by choosing vegan-safe products. 

7. 

Should I buy vegan foods before travelling? 

If I’m travelling on business, then yes. 

On holidays, some people will decide to make the trip vegan-socially-friendly and try to eat less animal products.

If you’re not sure whether vegan-foods are appropriate for your trip, then make sure you make a good vegan-conscious shopping trip to find out! 

8. 

Does vegan food require special ingredients? 

No. 

The vegan food in the supermarkets is made up of all natural ingredients. 

However, some ingredients may be sourced from animal agriculture, and some products may be made with animal-derived ingredients.

If you do find vegan foods to be expensive, it might be worth shopping at vegan markets or vegan food stores. 

9. 

How can I avoid animal products? 

For most people, it won’t be an issue. 

Vegetarian and vegan foods are all very easy to find, and you can find the most delicious vegan food anywhere. 

10. 

Are there any vegan-specific products out there? 

Although some vegan foods can be found at the supermarket, it isn’t always the case. 

At the moment, there are no vegan-approved vegan products that are available for purchase at the grocery store. 

11. 

Will vegan foods taste better if I eat them raw? 

Yes! 

Veggie and vegan meals can be rich in nutrients. 

12. 

My food is going to taste terrible. 

 You may find some ingredients on your vegan food that are not vegan-neutral, or they may taste too much like animal products to be worth eating. 

You should be mindful of the nutritional value of any vegan products you buy, so that you can make an informed choice when deciding whether or not to eat them. 

13. 

When will vegan foods become vegan-certified? 

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently announced that it will begin a new process to make vegan food products vegan-ready. 

Currently, the FDA only has a single vegan food ingredient on its list of approved ingredients for inclusion in vegan food. 

14. 

Why can’t I just eat animal-free foods? 

While some vegan food items can be vegan-appropriate
