Instead of labeling "vegan" or "vegetarian", maybe label them as "contains no meat or dairy" and "contains no meat" respectively...? I dunno, as a vegetarian, I would love to be able to tell at glance if something is vegetarian or not.
Anecdote: traveling in eastern California (near Sonora), I went into a store where they had these ginormous home-made Mexican cookies. Me gusta!! I asked for one, and was interrupted by the wife: she asked the owner (of the store) if she could confirm that they were vegetarian. The owner went to the back room, found the packing slip and whoops! One of the ingredients was manteca (or lard, or beef tallow). Apparently it's common to use it in Mexican food, so she wanted to confirm.
Had the cookies had standard indicator of vegetarianism (a green circle in a green square, like this: https://images.app.goo.gl/ggPD5vEgFzwXjP2o7 https://images.app.goo.gl/ggPD5vEgFzwXjP2o7) I wouldn't have wasted their time.
