Vegan Coffee & Tea

We ran 459 coffee & tea through our vegan rules: 24 pass, 12 need a label check, and 67 don't make it.

Black coffee and plain tea are trivially vegan. Instant mixes are not: creamers built on milk powder, honey-flavoured teas and lattes with lactose fill the no column. The pass list is mostly beans, leaves and plant-based mixes.
