The Vegan Travel Guide

10/09/2025

You can have a pork sausage, a chicken sausage, and a beef sausage and that’s fine. Chicken burger, beef burger, turkey burger, ostrich burger. You can have turkey bacon. You can have peanut butter, head cheese, coconut milk. Somehow no one is confused by that enough that we need to pass a law against it.

But vegan sausage, burger, bacon, milk??? Ahhh someone not vegan might accidentally eat something that’s probably healthier and cry. If food mislabelling was the problem, we’d separately categorise the aforementioned things

Proponents say move would strengthen position of farmers in supply chain but critics dismiss it as ‘hotdog populism’

🔍 How to Spot Vegan Labels Abroad

When you’re in a foreign country, these certification marks help you shop confidently:

1. Certified Vegan (Vegan Action / vegan.org)

✔️ A “V” inside a heart or circle, often with “Certified Vegan” or “vegan.org.”
✔️ Ensures no animal products, no animal testing.

2. Vegan Trademark (The Vegan Society, UK / EU)

✔️ The word “Vegan” (sometimes just the “V-Trademark”) inside a circle.
✔️ Popular in UK, Europe, Australia.

3. V-Label (European Vegetarian Union)

✔️ Usually a green “V” with a leaf or circle.
✔️ Can mean “vegan” or “vegetarian” — check small print (some are vegetarian only).

4. Australian Certified Vegan

✔️ A stylised “V” or “Certified Vegan” with kangaroo leaf motif.
✔️ Mainly seen in Australian / NZ products.

5. Vegetarian / Ovo-Lacto Symbols (Asia / India)

✔️ Green dot (vegetarian) or red dot (non-vegetarian) in India.
✔️ Sometimes “Eggless / Dairyless” in smaller text nearby.

⸻

💡 Quick Tips to Use These Labels
• Always read the fine print (some “vegetarian” labels include dairy or eggs).
• Use apps or websites to cross-check logos you don’t recognize.
• Save a photo of these certification logos so you can compare when shopping abroad.

How to NEVER enjoy travelling as a vegan 🌍😂

✅ Don’t research restaurants ahead of time - just assume every place will magically have vegan options.
✅ Forget translation cards. “Vegan” means the same thing everywhere, doesn’t it?
✅ Refuse to eat anything local. If it’s not tofu or kale, it’s clearly not vegan enough.
✅ Complain loudly in every meat-loving country. That’s definitely how to win people over.
✅ Trust that all street food is totally plant-based. YOLO, right?
✅ Only eat dry snacks from your suitcase. You didn’t come for the food anyway.
✅ Skip apps like HappyCow or vegan Facebook groups. You’ve got vibes and Google Maps.
✅ Bring no emergency snacks whatsoever. What could go wrong?
✅ Get hangry and dramatic in public. It’s part of the vegan travel experience.
✅ Ignore cultural norms - your ethics come first, always.
