Product Information

Unfortunately, some sugar is not vegan due to one of its principal processes – decolorization. Cane sugar always passes through a decolorizing step, while beet sugar is rarely decolorized. The bone char is loaded into large vertical cylinders called cisterns, and the clarified syrup is passed downwards through one, and sometimes two of these cisterns until the bone char is exhausted. The char is then washed clear of sugar and emptied from the cistern and sent to a drier and a kiln, where it’s regenerated by getting heated for a few minutes, as well as exposed to a limited quantity of air. The char is then returned to the cistern for the process to be repeated. Yes, palm oil is a plant-based ingredient, but it’s also tremendously nocive to the planet and biodiversity.

After introducing the original Captain Crunch in 1963, Quaker Oats has since introduced many flavors and seasonal variations – available for a limited time – such as the ones below: These are ingredients that some (usually deemed stricter) vegans avoid. For instance, the Vegan Society considers sugar and palm oil to be vegan ingredients, despite the environmental and other ethical implications, but some vegans still choose to avoid them. However, some vegans (and others) might disagree. Even though palm oil is derived from a plant, it’s (ironically) considered one of the most destructive ingredients in the world. The way it is cultivated (strictly through monocultures) leads to nocive environmental effects and consequently, harms animals in the process. Its color is usually removed from cane sugar streams using carbon, or special resins. Oftentimes, a high degree of color removal is required, and one of the traditional methods to achieve that result is to use bone char. Bone char is a granular material prepared by grinding cattle bones and roasting them in a kiln.According to the Vegan Society, palm oil is a vegetable product that does not involve the (ab)use of animals and therefore is suitable for vegans. Although there isn’t a single animal ingredient, which allegedly makes Captain Crunch a vegan product, there are three ingredients that are deemed questionable by more stringent vegans.

Artificial colors, like Red #40, are periodically tested, and proof of that is 2017 and 2018 studies conducted to prevent potential anomalies from appearing down the line.
