IngSpect

IngSpect is a web application for categorizing a list of ingredients based on its source. There are 9 categories in total:

• Vegan: The ingredient contains no animal-derived products or byproducts whatsoever. Its processing occurs solely with or by non-animal substances.
• Vegetarian: The ingredient contains no meat, poultry, fish, or seafood, nor any products derived from them or any other part of an animal's (including insect's) body. The ingredient was not processed using animal-derived substances (such as bone char). Eggs and dairy, and substances derived from them, are vegetarian. Insect secretions, (such as honey), are vegetarian.
• Typically vegan
• Typically vegetarian
• Typically Non-vegetarian
• May be non-vegetarian
• Non vegetarian
• Unspecified
• Unsure

There are cases where both vegetarian and non-vegetarian sources are available for a given ingredient, but some manufacturers told us that they use vegetarian sources only. Since we can't generalize this to all suppliers, the ingredient will be classified as either typically vegetarian, typically vegan, typically non-vegetarian, or may be non-vegetarian.
