The term "vegan options" refers to food or menu items that are suitable for people who follow a vegan diet. Vegans avoid all animal products, including meat, poultry, fish, dairy products and eggs, as well as any foods that contain ingredients derived from animals. Therefore, when restaurants or caterers offer "vegan options," they are providing dishes that do not include any animal-derived ingredients, but instead use plant-based alternatives to create delicious meals for vegan customers.
