Someone there knows or can find out where the sugar comes from, even if they have to go to their vendor. They know who they buy from and they can ask them. If they don't know, they can ask THEIR vendor. They know who they pay bills to. Customer service may not know, but someone does. Go back and ask again and if you get the same answer ask to speak to a supervisor. Not in a mean way, but to get the info you need. You need to speak to someone else at Ghirardelli.

I have heard that all UK sugar does not use bone char, and I have made enquiries to Sugar Australia (I'm in Aus) who state that bone char processing was phased out in Australia in the early 1990s. However, what you define as vegan is always a grey area. A common harvesting practise in Aus is 'slash and burn' which kills a lot of snakes and mice. If US sugar is too much of a mine field, and you use reasonable quantities of sugar, perhaps you would like to research sugar companies in other countries and consider importing your product?

The key to avoiding the bone char process with Domino is the "organic" label. A sugar processed with bone char cannot be labeled as "organic," according to the USDA. The vast majority of Domino's sugars are processed with the bone char- it's simply cheaper for them to do so.

It's even more evidence that an animal product free life is possible (and not as pricey)! That’s awesome Lindy Loo, thank you for adding to the list.
