"Wij kunnen u bevestigen dat wij geen veganische producten gebruiken en ook niet elders produceren."
means
"We can confirm that we don't use vegan products and also not produce anywhere else."
This was a confusing answer and I suspected that she made an typo ( she meant 'dierlijke' instead of 'veganische'. The latter is not a Dutch word btw.).
so I asked again.
"Begrijp ik het antwoord goed en zitten er dierlijke producten in uw bier?
Kunt u mij ook zeggen welke?"
means
"Do I understand correctly that there are animal derived products in your beer?
Can you tell me which ones?"
