理由

Despite the persistent myth, Red Bull's taurine has been produced synthetically since the drink launched. The company confirms the product contains no animal-derived ingredients. Some editions with dairy-style flavours would be the exception.

よくある質問

Is Red Bull 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.
