So, what is forel?
Forel is the Dutch word for trout, a group of freshwater and saltwater fish species belonging to the salmon family. Trout are sourced either through commercial fishing in natural waterways or, more commonly, raised in land-based or open-water aquaculture fish farms. After harvesting, the fish are killed, gutted, and processed into fresh or frozen cuts, smoked fillets, and canned seafood. It frequently appears on ingredient labels for prepared meals, fish spreads, chowders, and European specialty dishes.
forel is not vegan because it is an animal ingredient. Fish are aquatic animals, and utilizing them in food production requires their slaughter. Any packaged food product listing forel contains fish flesh, fish stock, or related fish byproducts, making it entirely unsuitable for anyone adhering to a vegan diet.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
