Why Wouldn’t Frosted Cheerios Be Vegan
Frosted Cheerios contain the following questionable ingredients.

Why Isn’t White Sugar Vegan
Regular white sugar is often processed using bone char from animals.
The bone char is used to bleach or whiten the sugar.
Although, none of the bone char ends up in the finished product most vegans will avoid consuming white sugar since it is processed using an animal by-product.
You can avoid sugar processed with bone char by only consuming raw cane sugar, organic sugar, and products that contain these ingredients.
Why Are Natural Flavors Not Vegan
Natural Flavors is an umbrella term that is used to describe many different ingredients.
Some of these ingredients are plant-based whereas others are sourced from animals.
