Is Protease Vegan?

Result: Unknown · Medium confidence

Protease may be microbial, plant, or animal-derived.

Protease may be microbial, plant, or animal-derived. Classified Unknown because the label term can cover both vegan and non-vegan sources, or because the processing route is not clear enough from the ingredient name alone. Source and processing use should be checked. The source is a vegan/vegetarian ingredient reference and is useful for source-risk screening, but product-level approval still needs review. Keep as needs_review until a human reviewer confirms the source, aliases, and any supplier-specific caveats.
