I have been a...Thank you so very much for the info! I have been avoiding Domino Sugar for over 7 years because of the bone char issue. Most of the sugar in my hometown, Baltimore, is processed at either the Baltimore facility or the one in Yonkers. I am a vegan living under the poverty level, but I cook for myself and others, so it's good to have a cheap option. When gifting baked goods I'll still go with a more natural choice even if it's just Moreno sugar. But, for more frequent use I think I'll pay a tenth to a half the price of more expensive sugars. I'll still continue to use dates in place of sugar when I want a slightly healthier version of my baked good. <br /><br />I've also felt a little guilty about store and restaurant bought baked goods purchases, knowing that most likely cheap sugar is used for the leavening process of breads and for the sweetening of confections. Now it looks like most sugar processed is vegan.<br /><br />Just a note: I'll still avoid palm sugar unless it sustainably sourced due to the habitat destruction in south east Asia. <br /><br />The next thing to look into is the fair trade policies by companies like Domino. Slave labor is not a fairy tale or a note out of a history book it is real and continues to occur globally. President Obama worked on an initiative to end the importation of products that from companies that source slave labor. Unfortunately, one of the first things Trump did when entering office was to squash that initiative.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01925513376187347981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544179209064606677.post-18172536776336879952019-03-08T06:36:17.331-05:002019-03-08T06:36:17.331-05:00Very helpful post!

I am not vegan but 90% of what I eat is and my children are vegan with different degrees of "religious fanaticism" about it. I question the issue with by products like bone char to begin with but I understand their use does support the meat industry. The thing is that the animals will be slaughtered for meat and the companies will be profitable whether they sell the bones or not.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07011312020138803960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544179209064606677.post-52904006889728304642018-08-28T12:24:14.059-04:002018-08-28T12:24:14.059-04:00Thx so much!

From now on I'm just going to look for the lot codes.

I always refused to buy their sugar having heard about the bone charring technique, I still would refrain as clearly they have not fully implemented it across all their facilities... But it's great to hear they are developing new ways to get away from the use of bone chart.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00549023579205381552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544179209064606677.post-15964756039929082752018-02-10T18:20:15.255-05:002018-02-10T18:20:15.255-05:00Thank you for this - your posting cleared up a lot...Thank you for this - your posting cleared up a lot of questions.

I am happy to know the domino's from east coast no longer use bone char. I just bought a box and wanted to make sure, I have heard they didn't use this process anymore but I still wanted to make sure. I am surprised however they still are using this process in other areas, as I mentioned I had heard they stopped completely, but it wasn't clear. I am grateful too this is from this is from this year and is updated info. So thank you! Now I can make my overly sweet death icing cream (jaja) with confidence and knowing there is no bones in my veganized devil cakes jeje ;). <br /><br />losmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331947134562347478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544179209064606677.post-18158846574712500352017-08-15T10:24:01.695-04:002017-08-15T10:24:01.695-04:00Interesting and informative.
