Yes, plain old regular white sugar. Surprised to see this basic sweetener here? It’s true that all sugar (beet or cane) is derived from plant sources and therefore vegan by nature. However, there are some sneaky things going on behind the scenes in big corporations these days. Some cane sugar is filtered using bone char, a very nonvegan process, but it will never be specified on any labels. If you’re not sure about the brand that you typically buy, your best bet is to contact the manufacturer directly and ask.
