I agree. Labelling stuff as vegan can only be an advantage, even for simple stuff like yeast, in the same way as nuts have had “may contain nuts” on their packets for years now.

The nuts thing is a bit different though, isn’t it? I’ve always been under the impression that’s there for legal reasons so that anyone who suffers an allergic reaction due to cross contamination from a non-listed allergen/ingredient can’t seek to sue.
Also, if it’s a pack of peanuts that says ‘may contain nuts’ then that’s totally fine as peanuts are actually not nuts; they are a legume and fall under a different allergen classification.
Kind regards,
A peanut allergy sufferer ;)

I think there is a benefit to labelling things as vegan though even if they were before the label was there to point it out. Even in here there's been conversations about whether certain things that look to be vegan from the ingredients are actually vegan because they don't specifically say, or they say they're vegetarian at most.
