What this means

Our record lists Vivera as a brand of JBS 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.

Vivera appears on one scheme we check: The Vegan Society Trademark. 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 JBS 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.

  3. JBS Global Animal Welfare Policy, commitment to animal welfare standardsCompany's own statement

    Supports: JBS S.A., Vivera's parent company, is a meat processing company primarily focused on livestock production. JBS publishes a Global Animal Welfare Policy and states commitment to animal welfare standards aligned with local laws and internationally recognized standards. However, advocacy groups including World Animal Protection and the Animal Welfare Institute document JBS's poor animal welfare record. The company's stated policies relate to livestock handling in meat production facilities, not cosmetics animal testing. As a food company, Vivera and JBS do not have publicly stated positions on cosmetics animal testing.
