Brand-level answers fail on this shelf. Honey Stinger is not vegan. Tailwind Endurance Fuel is manufacturer-confirmed in this catalog; Tailwind Rebuild is whey. Clif Shot and Clif Bloks are not the same answer. Spring Energy is only Awesome Sauce and Hill Aid here. A logo is not a verification status.
Last verified August 2026. This checker will not print Certified Vegan unless that trademark is on the catalog row.
Check the SKU, not the brand. Manufacturer-confirmed is weaker than a third-party Certified Vegan trademark.
Famous traps
- Honey Stinger gels, chews, and waffles contain honey. See is Honey Stinger vegan.
- Is Tailwind vegan is two products, not one.
- Clif Shot vs Bloks: Bloks on common flavours are ingredient-list verified; Shot stays unclear.
- Spring Energy: flavour-level, not pouch-style.
- Maurten Gel 100 is manufacturer-confirmed vegan, not Certified Vegan.

How the numbers are computed
The model returns catalog slugs only. Status text, carbohydrate grams, and sodium are copied from those rows. If mapping fails, a keyword fallback still cannot invent Certified Vegan.
Unmapped packets stay unknown. Paste the ingredient list into the red-flag scanner.
Then put the SKU on a clock
Checking vegan is not the same as hitting 60–90 g/h (Jeukendrup 2014). Build the belt with the race fuel planner. Decode the course with the aid-station decoder.
