What this means

Our record lists Fentimans as a brand of A.G. Barr plc. Ownership is a separate question from how a product is made: a brand can hold its own certifications while its parent company operates under different policies.

We hold no active third-party certification for Fentimans, so the statuses above rest on the sources listed below rather than on a certifier's audit.

We have not yet verified an animal-testing position for A.G. Barr plc, so we make no claim either way. We publish sourced facts and dates so you can judge them yourself; see how we verify.
