Are Bran Buds Vegan?
No, Bran Buds are not vegan because they contain vitamin D3, derived from sheep. Some vegans may choose to eat foods with a trace of vitamin D3, but it’s generally not considered part of a vegan lifestyle. If you’re looking for an alternative cereal that is truly vegan-friendly, try Post Wheat and Bran Shredded Wheat or Kashi Whole Wheat Biscuits.
