Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

This is quite alarming. It must mean that there is no regulation to ensure that vegan products are actually animal-free.
I know it's daft but is there a legal definition of vegetarian food? If not then why would one exist for vegan?
I would imagine that people with severe lacto-intolerance would need it most. Actual vegans - for ethical reasons - will find this incredibly horrifying.
Saying all that, though, I remember listening to a programme on the radio about how there was no definition of (cows) milk. At that time there were 50 or so different liquids containing all sorts of ingriedients that called themselves cows milk.
People with allergies will be looking out for allergen labelling. Veganism and vegetarianism aren't allergies and some people will have no issues with traces.
