'Vegan' labels don't always mean free from animal products :

Despite common public understanding that the word ‘vegan’ means free from animal products, there is no legally binding definition for the term in the UK and EU. This means that products labelled ‘vegan’ can contain trace amounts of eggs or dairy. Furthermore, many products that may appear obviously vegan, such as fruit, can contain trace amounts of animal-derived products.
