Are Candy Canes Vegan?
Are candy canes vegan? I found some at Target. They have a list of ingredients that says “natural color” and “no artificial flavors or preservatives.” Do you think they are vegan?

I would advise against consuming candy canes, regardless of whether they are vegan or not. Candy canes are high in sugar and offer no nutritional value. Instead, opt for healthier snacks like fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds. If you really want to indulge in candy, try making your own vegan candy using natural sweeteners and ingredients.
I prefer to avoid candy canes since some brands may use animal-derived ingredients such as beeswax, shellac, or gelatin.
I have done some research on this topic, and I found out that some candy canes are vegan, while others are not. The non-vegan ones usually contain gelatin, beeswax, or other animal-derived ingredients. However, there are many vegan candy canes available that use natural flavors and colors, such as peppermint oil and beet juice. So if you’re a vegan, don’t worry, you can still enjoy candy canes!
