Vegan Bakery

We ran 1,052 bakery through our vegan rules: 24 pass, 12 need a label check, and 480 don't make it.

Butter and milk turn up even in breads with no obvious need for them, and egg glazes coat a lot of pastry. L-cysteine, a dough conditioner, can be animal-derived too. Simple breads pass often; laminated pastry almost never does.
