- V-CERT for certified vegan products. Review the product scope.

- Raw-material sourcing and documentation within the capsule service.
FDA registration is a filing, not FDA approval.
Make the vegan requirement part of the whole formula
Our credentials include V-CERT for certified vegan products. Your vegan capsule project brings shell selection, ingredients and processing requirements into one brief, with the certification scope checked for the product.
Private certification schemes apply their own criteria and licensing rules. Compare the standard, covered products and evidence required, alongside applicable food-information law and the rules in your target markets.
Check what the certification actually establishes
Ask which formulation records, supplier declarations, process checks and testing the scheme requires. The mark only covers its defined certified scope and does not replace other product obligations.
Specify the shell and the ingredients inside it
Material origin, processing aids and any substitutions can affect suitability. Keep the vegan requirement in the product and supplier specifications.
The shell
Gelatin is animal-derived. Non-gelatin options include cellulose-based shells such as HPMC, but suitability depends on the complete shell composition. Confirm the available material, colour and size for your product.
Capsule sizes and fill weightsThe excipients
Review active ingredients, carriers, flow agents, coatings and colours, including relevant processing aids. Ask for the origin evidence needed by your intended standard and agree how material changes are approved.
Compare the certification behind the mark
V-CERT and V-Label are distinct marks. Compare the issuer, criteria, licence and product scope rather than treating the logos as interchangeable.
| Question | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Who issues it | The scheme owner, licensed certifier and current certification criteria. |
| What it covers | The exact product or product family, permitted mark use and evidence required by that scheme. |
| What it does not cover | Products outside the certified scope. Mandatory food information, including allergens, remains a separate requirement. |
| The V-Label, for comparison | V-Label publishes its own criteria covering ingredients, processing aids and production. These are not automatically the criteria of V-CERT. |
| What TS LAB holds | V-CERT for certified vegan products. Request the current certificate and confirm whether the exact product is covered. |

Private label vegan capsule supplement questions
Are your capsules vegan?
Vegan suitability is assessed per product. Share the complete formula so the shell, ingredients, excipients and processing requirements can be checked against the intended vegan specification and any certification requirements.
Is vegan a legally defined term on an EU food label?
Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 does not itself provide a detailed harmonised definition of vegan. Voluntary food information must still meet applicable rules. Check the criteria of any certification scheme and the requirements of the target market.
What does a vegan certification actually check?
The scope depends on the scheme. Check its requirements for ingredient origin, processing aids, manufacturing controls, supplier evidence and any testing, as well as the product licence and permitted use of the mark.
How is V-CERT different from the V-Label?
They are different certification marks. Check each issuer, current criteria, licence and product scope. For comparison, V-Label publishes its criteria; they should not be presented as the criteria or certification held by TS LAB.
Are the excipients vegan too?
Excipients need assessment alongside the active ingredients and shell. Identify their grades, origins and relevant processing aids, and agree how substitutions are reviewed for your product.
Does the vegan certificate cover my product automatically?
No. Confirm whether your exact product is within the certified scope and what approval or licensing work is required before using a mark.
What does a vegan mark not cover?
A vegan mark does not automatically cover other products, establish health benefits or replace allergen and other mandatory food information. Check the scheme’s exact scope and limitations.
