Vegan Barbecue Sauce Brands You Can Buy In-Stores
There are few brands of specifically vegan barbecue sauce, probably because there are so many accidentally vegan options. Most common brands are primarily vegan, and it’s usually only their honey-flavored options that aren’t. You also need to look out for Worcestershire sauce on labels.
Three Common Brands You’re Likely to Find
Jack Daniel’s barbecue sauce is all vegan except for their Tennessee Honey sauce (which is clearly indicated on their website).Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue range is all vegan except for Honey and Honey Chipotle. Kraft is all vegan except their Sweet Honey and Mesquite Smoke options. And Stubb’s much-loved Bar-B-Q sauces are all vegan except Smoky Mesquite and Honey Pecan.
These should all be fairly easy to find at any supermarket; they’re some of the most popular sauces for omnivores, too!
What About the Sugar in Vegan BBQ Sauce?
You may have heard that some sugar may be processed with animal products. We recommend that unless you’re buying your own bagged sugar at the store not to worry about this. Odds are, the manufacturer won’t be able to trace it and the actual suffering caused to animals is dubious at best.
How to Make Your Own at Home
Let’s face it – it’s always more cost effective to make your own at home in bulk and store it for later. Plus it gives you the opportunity to use the highest quality ingredients should you so choose.
