VG stands for Vegan, and GF stands for Gluten-Free, typically in the context of food labeling and dietary restrictions.
Here's a breakdown:
-
VG: Vegan
- Indicates that a food or dish does not contain any animal products or animal-derived ingredients. This includes meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, honey, gelatin, and other animal byproducts.
- Example: A "VG" labeled soup would be free of chicken broth, cream, and any other animal-derived ingredient.
-
GF: Gluten-Free
- Indicates that a food or dish does not contain gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye.
- This is important for individuals with celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, or wheat allergies.
- Example: A "GF" labeled bread would be made with flours that do not contain gluten, such as rice flour, almond flour, or tapioca flour.
