Company email (December 2025)
"...viendo la importancia para los consumidores, Damm ha certificado las siguientes marcas por la Vegan Society."
[Translatiom: "...given the importance this has for consumers, Damm has certified the following brands with the Vegan Society."]
Company email (September 2020)
"Como te comentábamos, nuestra cerveza es apta para veganos y vegetarianos, y no usa ningún producto de origen animal. Te confirmamos que todas las cervezas de Damm cumplen estos requisitos, a excepción de Malquerida e Inedit, que incluyen cera de abeja en su elaboración."
[Google translation: "As we mentioned, our beer is suitable for vegans and vegetarians, and does not use any product of animal origin. We confirm that all Damm beers meet these requirements, with the exception of Malquerida and Inedit, which include beeswax in their production."]
Update (August 2012)
"Okay, this is a little complicated. I can see where Miguel is coming from as it does almost seem to suggest that it MIGHT contain fish products, as the phrasing is awkward.
Essentially what it says is
Fish and fish-based products, except
a. Fish gelatine used to carry vitamins or preparations of carotenoids
b. Fish gelatine used as clarifier in beer or wine
Now ordinarily I'd agree that this was something to be concerned about, but looking at the date of that it was from 2009, and I believe the other message you have on the website, which directly contradicts this, is more recent. It's a tricky one."
Update (July 2012)
Note from Miguel: "You have been change again this beer to Vegan friendly. It is wrong. You can find attached a certificate in which is written the opposite, but it is a bit tricky to understand, also in Spanish." [Correction (August 2013): This is in Catalan, not Spanish]
Company email (June 2012)
"A Grup Damm no es fan servir derivats del peix ni altres additius d'origen animal.
Els derivats del peix en forma de gelatines o colas s'havien fet servir històricament a cerveseria com a clarificants de la cervesa abans de la filtració. Avui en dia, aquesta pràctica està molt abandonada degut a que les tècniques de filtració han millorat moltíssim."
[Translation by MC]: "At Damm Group, products derived from fish and other additives of animal origin are not used. Fish derivatives in the form of gelatins or glues were formerly used to clarify the beer before filtration. Today, this practice has been widely abandoned because filtration techniques have improved greatly."
Correction (April 2012):
"the company attached me this form and show that they use jelly fish. I know that it´s dificult to translate but you need to translate all the words in the 4 point. At the end of this line the use the word "salvo" that the meaning in english is "except". This part of the form is really convoluted, also in spanish."
Company email (March 2012)
Editor's note: Company email was extensive, but does not mention the use of any animal products.
