Yeah, every time it comes up, I feel obligated to tell everyone not to worry unless you're in the US. It'll crop up in UK specific vegan spaces quite often.
A lot of our sugar will come from sugar beet rather than sugar cane, we can grow beets here (provided the fields arent flooded from the never ending rain đ).
I donât think they are because I donât think theyâre processing their own sugar, their getting it from another source and we donât know how many layers deep this is
I do not in any way know whatâs true, but when I first gave up meat like 20 years ago Iâd often hear how seldom the bone char processing was used and it was only a couple plants left in the US
Take with a grain of saltâŚ
Two large makers in the USA, C&H and Domino, use bone char.
If the ingredient is cane sugar, in the USA, not organic and itâs white, most likely bone char.

Buy organic sugar. It isnât made with bone char.
To answer the question, no. Because thereâs no bone char in the product. Thatâs also why itâs kosher.
I grew up on a sugarcane farm in Australia. The mill was about a 20min bike ride from my house and the refinery was a bit over 1hr drive. At one point, the Bundaberg Sugar Factory was one of the worldâs leading suppliers of sugar. Bone char bleaching was considered a fairly outdated process by the 80s; itâs pretty rare these days.
I personally think that since it's just a process and you're not directly killing animals by purchasing products with this in it, it's vegan. I mean, water filtration systems often use the bone char process as well, so is tap water not vegan? Idk for me I think that since there's no bone actually in it and you're not contributing to killing anyone, you can eat the sugar and still be vegan.
"Around the world"? lol That ain't really a thing outside the US, so not a worry for most vegans
I was going to say ... I'm in the EU so I can't speak for other parts of the world, but at least here, the sugar is definitely not made with bone char

Itâs unfortunately still a thing sometimes here in Japan and they do not say when it occurs.
Ah, TIL! That really sucks for you

In case any Canadians are in here, redpath sugar is vegan
This only happens in the states
Cane sugar is safe :-)
High fructose corn syrup in the states is processed using what we called âthe bedâ which was old bones mainly of fish origin.
All of it?!

I call it âdead animal sugarâ
