    iirc, some sugar is filtered through bone char to make it more sparkly white
    not everywhere though, sugar made in the uk for example doesn't do this as we use beet to make sugar, not cane

          Stuff like this is so annoying. It's all sugar to me. There were dumb scares about brown sugar when microscopes were discovered and people put out pics that were supposedly all the microbes on the dirty sugar. Similar amounts can be found in regular sugar iirc too it's extra silly

              if it has something to do with shelf life i'd understand but if it's just psychological that annoys me, most sugar ends up invisible

              anyways none of this answers the original question of what in the rules makes them worried bone char is gonna considered vegan by China.

                  who cares. also I derail my own conversations to talk about food on purpose. I've seen a lot of non-bleached looking sugar being used in chinese cooking videos on youtube, anecdotally.
