Verification Notes
Company email (December 2021)
"Thanks for your recent email and for being a fan. While no animal products are added directly to Fireball, there is an animal-derived binder in the yeast preparation used to ferment the whisky mash prior to distillation, therefore we cannot claim Fireball Whisky to be completely vegan"
Company email (June 2021)
"Unfortunately, I am told we cannot confirm Fireball is suitable for vegans. While the vast majority of our products are vegan, we have a discovered a few ingredients we purchase from third party vendors that contain trace amount of animal derived materials. Unfortunately, developing suitable alternatives can be a significant hurdle for some of these vendors.
Fireball produced in Montreal and sold in Israel is certified Kosher.
Thank you for your patience as we continue to move towards an animal free product line-up."
Company email (August 2018)
" I’ve looked into this for you and unfortunately we have found that one of the ingredients in Fireball has a vegetarian status but not vegan status and therefore we cannot claim Fireball Whisky to be completely vegan."
Company email (April 2016)
"I have checked with our quality team and have been advised there are no animal products used in the production or filtration of Fireball Whisky and that it is vegan friendly" [Note: they also said the previous (Jan 2016) statement was "probably not worded correctly]
Company email (January 2016)
"I have asked our chemist about this and he let me know there is one ingredient in Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey that is Lacto Vegetarian and Lacto Ovo Vegetarian but not Vegan. "
Company email (January 2014)
"I have asked our chemist about this and he said: we use bulk real sugar and the bleaching process of sugar most of the time uses bone char (so unfortunately can’t say for sure that products with sugar are vegan friendly). Sorry – did not know this about the sugar used."
Company email (August 2012)
"Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding our Fireball Whisky. To the best of our knowledge, Fireball does not contain or is exposed to any animal derived material as do the rest of our Sazerac products. However, because we cannot 100% guarantee this we always suggest our consumers consult with their physician first to make sure our products are safe for them."
Company email (January 2010)
"None of our bourbons use animal products as ingredients or processing aids. Our Vodkas and gins are also vegan friendly. Our Rain flavors, except for honey mango melon are Vegan. "
