        In Europe we use mostly sugar beets as base for sugar production. As far as I’m aware it’s processing is vegan. So it depends where they produce it and source their ingredients.

        That doesn’t make sense. Sugar is cooked to separate the molasses from the sucrose and the resulting clear sugar is what appears white. Bone meal would cause weird crystals nucleation around the powdered bone and sugar crystals would look uneven, like a chalky Sugar In The Raw large grain.

        I would love to learn more about how white sugar keeps a uniform shape after bone meal processing. Food science is fascinating. Have a link?

          BTW that’s only for sugar from cane sugar. In Europe we mostly use sugar beets and the processing is a little different
