Similar to signs that mark an item Kosher there are also signs on food that show something is vegan. Sometimes it is just written and sometimes it there is a symbol on the product. Although this is helpful in finding products it's still important to read the labels on the back.
One day when my husband and I were at Whole Foods we saw vegan pastas in the frozen section. I got really excited until I read the ingredients and found out that the Vegan ones were manufactured on the same lines as the non-Vegan ones. Therefore, we couldn't buy the product.
Never assume that something is safe just because it has a symbol. These symbols as well as the Kosher ones are just guides to help you. You are your child's best advocate.
