What this means
Our record lists Huel as a brand of Danone S.A.. 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.
Huel appears on one scheme we check: The Vegan Society. Each scheme sets its own criteria, so read the certifier's own entry, linked above, for what it covers.
We have not yet verified an animal-testing position for Danone S.A., so we make no claim either way. We publish sourced facts and dates so you can judge them yourself; see how we verify.
