Again, I have done extensive research and it appears that while some brands of powdered sugar contain Bone Char, most brands do not contain animal byproducts. I used the Publix store brand powdered sugar and their website says that it is vegan, as it does not contain animal byproducts (bone char). If you are concerned about powdered sugar being vegan and want to use a VERIFIED vegan powdered sugar, I recommend this Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Powdered Sugar on Amazon.com.
