Is It Vegan: Stork Block


The vitamin D might make you doubt it, but yes, Stork baking margarine is vegan. We verified the source of the vitamin D with the manufacturer (see below). The company advised us that the vitamin is plant-derived (Vitamin D2) and the product is vegan.


We found it quite hard to find a definitive answer about Stork on the internet, so we thought we'd email Unilever and find out. Here is the response:


Now whether you want to buy from Unilever is another question of course (that one's easy to google).

Other options include Tomor margarine from Rakusens. Stork block is widely available though, and is often your only source of dairy-free baking margarine. At least you can put the doubts about the Vitamin D to the back of your mind.

Stork baking margarine is vegan.

  1. I'd never even thought to look at the ingredients of this margarine! I try and avoid buying Unilever products personally but stuff like this is great to tell people about who think finding vegan products is difficult.

    1. Yeah, sometimes you think it's not even worth looking. Most baking marg is without milk ingredients, but it's usually the D3 to be wary of.

  3. Only the non-Passover Tomor is vegan, during Passover the D is not vegan. It's all clearly labelled Kosher for Passover with no vegan society logo during this period.

  4. Trex vegetable shortening is another good vegetable fat for making icing and general baking uses.

  6. But what IS this stuff??? It's probably hydrogenated, which is terrible for you. And if it IS palm oil... Not good.

  7. Incredible how difficult it was to find out if stork is suitable for vegans. Why don't they label it as such?
