"In general, Somersby does not contain milk or eggs but fruit juices can be treated with gelatin (of animal origin) in the clarification process. As our raw material suppliers cannot guarantee that all juice used in the production of Somersby would be produced without gelatin (it is a very common procedure in treating fruit juices), Somersby is not stated totally vegan-friendly.
"We are although working hard to provide a vegan-friendly alternative in the upcoming year, so keep an eye on our website and social channels!"
