  • Frequently Asked Questions
    Frequently Asked Questions What Types of Companies Are on the "Don't Test" List? This list includes companies that make cosmetics, personal-care products, household-cleaning products, and other common household products. All companies that are included on PETA's "don't test" list have signed our statement of assurance verifying that they and their ingredient suppliers don't conduct, commission, pay for, or allow any tests on animals for ingredients, formulations, or finished products anywhere in the world and will not do so in the future. We encourage consumers to support the companies on this list, since we know that they're committed to making products without harming animals. Companies on the "Do Test" list should be shunned until they implement a policy that prohibits animal testing. The "do test" list doesn't include companies that manufacture only products that are required by law to be tested on animals (e.g., pharmaceuticals and garden chemicals). Although PETA is opposed to all animal testing, our focus in those instances is less on the individual companies and more on the regulatory agencies that require animal testing. How Does a Company Get on PETA's Global Animal Test–Free List? In order to be listed as animal test–free by PETA's Beauty Without Bunnies program, a company or brand must submit a legally binding statement of assurance signed by its CEO verifying that it and its ingredient suppliers don't conduct, commission, pay for, or allow any tests on animals for ingredients, formulations, or finished products anywhere in the world and won't do so in the future.

We have devoted much energy to helping vegetarians and vegans solve this problem in our various books. We've compiled glossaries of animal-derived additives and hidden ingredients. We've created lists of vegan products and alcoholic drinks. We've published reports on how to distinguish vegetarian and vegan products from non-vegetarian or non-vegan products. However, many vegans and vegetarians have found that hidden animal ingredients inevitably sneak in to the "animal-free" diet, despite their painstaking efforts. How can a vegetarian or vegan successfully eliminate animal products and animal cruelty from their shopping? It sometimes seems impossible, given the complexities of food and cosmetics manufacturing, the cryptic nature of ingredient labels, and the numerous ways that animal ingredients have infiltrated our world. There is a way! The simplest, surest way to pursue a 100% vegan or vegetarian lifestyle is to purchase products from companies and distributors that cater specifically to vegan and vegetarian interests.
