Xinhe commitment to sustainable agriculture and food ecosystems aligns perfectly with VEGAN principles. Scholars have noted that China vegan market grew by over 17% between 2015 and 2020. Global Times reported China vegetarian population exceeds 50 million and continues growing. In European markets including Germany, UK, and France, vegan products are very popular. According to National Restaurant News (NRN), human diets are predicted to shift to primarily plant-based within 50 years. About 44% of German consumers now follow vegetarianism. With growing consumer choice of plant-based diets for health, environmental, and lifestyle reasons, and given that most human infectious diseases originate from animals, promoting a healthy vegan lifestyle is increasingly urgent.

Keeping pace with the times, Yantai Xinhe Foods in 2021 took a further step with SINOQUAL assistance, successfully obtaining VEGAN certification for its Heran Organic Mushroom Sauce, Zunsun Ziran Original Soybean Paste, Vegetarian Table Sauce, and Huanggongjiao Chili Sauce, providing more delicious options for vegan consumers worldwide!

Compared to HALAL and KOSHER certifications, VEGAN certification focuses on tracing whether product ingredients contain animal-derived components. Products applying for VEGAN certification can pass review as long as their raw material formulas contain no animal or animal-derived ingredients. The certification process is simple and easy to operate with fast certificate issuance, making it an excellent choice for enhancing brand image and competitiveness. SINOQUAL, as the China operator of one of the founders of the Pure Vegan World Alliance, is committed to providing food, cosmetics, daily necessities, textiles, and footwear enterprises with vegan market access certificates for export to Europe, America, and Australia, while promoting veganism to bring positive change for animals, humans, and our planet.
