Paste an ingredient list. Highlights honey, whey, gelatin, and milk. It does not certify a product vegan.
Sports dietitian review pending
Allowlisted animal tokens, if any, will appear here.
This tool exists because packets still print honey, whey, gelatin, and milk next to maltodextrin, and because “vegan energy” on a carton is marketing. It flags an allowlist of animal tokens only. It cannot see unnamed amino-acid feedstock. That is why GU Roctane can sit at unclear in the catalog even when the word honey is absent.
A clean scan is not a certification. Certified Vegan is a third-party trademark. plantbaes.net will not print that from a paste box.
Key takeaway:
No flags means no allowlisted words, not “this product is vegan.” Check known SKUs in the catalog.
What it will catch
Honey, whey, gelatin, milk, and other tokens on the allowlist. Honey Stinger is the teaching case — honey as carbohydrate, not as an allergen banner. See is Honey Stinger vegan.
The model may pull a short excerpt around an allowlisted word. A deterministic string match always runs on the same list. Status labels — Certified Vegan, manufacturer-confirmed, ingredient-list verified — are not outputs here.
If you already know the brand
Skip the paste box and use the vegan gel checker or aid-station decoder. Scan every flavour you might pin to the belt; honey can appear in one and not another.
Frequently asked questions
If nothing is flagged, is the product vegan?
No. This only matches an allowlist of obvious animal words. Amino-acid sourcing, processing aids, and cross-contact are out of scope. Use the catalog for SKUs we have checked.
Why can honey hide on a sports label?
Because it is a carbohydrate, not a warning allergen in the milk/egg sense. Honey Stinger is the famous case. Always read the list.
Does this assign Certified Vegan?
Never. Certified Vegan is a third-party trademark. plantbaes.net will not print that from a paste box.
What about L-leucine or other amino acids?
If the list does not name an animal source, this scanner will not guess. Those products stay unclear in the catalog until a manufacturer statement exists.
Should I scan every flavour?
Yes. Honey or milk derivatives can appear in one flavour and not another under the same brand.
How does this use OpenAI?
The model may quote the matching token. A string match on the same allowlist always runs as well, so a missed model call cannot hide the word honey.
Is gelatin still used in chews?
Sometimes. That is why Clif Bloks and GU chews are not a brand-level answer. Scan the flavour you hold.
Can I scan Tailwind Rebuild and call the brand vegan?
Rebuild lists dairy protein. Endurance Fuel is a different SKU. Scan the packet you will drink, not the logo on the tent.
