The problem is that refined white sugar is included in so many store-bought items, some surprising (you would never think they contained sugar!) Even wholemeal bread!
Now I'm not a total sugar freak, and like sweetness, but it is sad that a vegan/vegetarian cannot trust many -probably hundreds -of items out there not to have association with animal products, slaughter and suffering. Even things that one wouldn't expect.
I guess in order to be sure we have to look for a "suitable for vegetarians" label, or the "vegan" logo.
