The search for a healthy diet and products free from any animal by-product has become increasingly frequent in the food market. The population is becoming aware and has great concern about health and the environment, so they look for ecologically correct products. The vegan movement has been gaining more and more space in Brazilian society, defending animal rights and seeking a more sustainable lifestyle. It is noteworthy that veganism is a niche found within vegetarianism. In this way, being vegan means not exploiting animals, promoting the lifestyle for the benefits of humans, animals and the environment, ceasing to consume any food that contains animal waste. In Brazil, about 16 million people are associated with this vegetarian population. But, we know that these products free of animal origin, is still a little scarce in the current market, but it has been constantly seeking to evolve in food productions, aimed at this audience. In this way, this work seeks to give more visibility to this new market concept and to the food products that this population has been looking for.
