Is Golden Syrup Vegan?
1min read
Golden syrup is the key that holds rocky roads together and makes waffles complete, but is it vegan?
About golden syrup
Golden Syrup was first sold in 1885 by chemists who discovered that a byproduct of making sugar was a syrup that was typically fed to pigs. Abram Lyle figured that with adjustments, the syrup could be canned and sold to be eaten by humans. These chemists went on to be Tate and Lyle, one of the best known and loved brands in the UK.
What’s it made of?
Golden syrup is the product of mixing sugar with an acid. It is a waste by-product from refining sugar cane or sugar beet juice that has become a sweetener in its own right.
Is golden syrup vegan?
Yes, golden syrup is vegan! Namely, Tate and Lyle’s golden syrup, a relief for those that love the golden stuff.
