Poukisa
Common commercial figs, including most dried varieties, are parthenocarpic — they ripen without pollination. Where a fig wasp does enter a Smyrna-type fig, the enzyme ficin breaks it down completely and no insect remains. The Vegan Society considers figs vegan.
Kisa pou tcheke sou etikèt la
- The ingredient list on your own pack — Figs recipes differ by country and change over time
- Milk, whey, casein, lactose, egg, honey, gelatin, carmine (E120) and shellac (E904) in the list
- "May contain milk" is an allergen cross-contamination note, not an ingredient — most vegans still buy it

Kesyon moun poze
Is Figs certified vegan?
Certification is separate from the recipe. Many products with no animal ingredients carry no vegan mark because the maker will not rule out shared production lines. Check the pack for a registered vegan trademark, and treat the ingredient list as the primary evidence.
Does the answer change between countries?
Often, yes. The same brand name can use different fats, emulsifiers, colours or whey depending on the plant that made it, so always read the local label rather than an answer written for another market.
