Abstract:

In this Urban Barcode Project, we seek to investigate the various brands of vegan patties sold in grocery stores in New York City. We hypothesize that there will be some brands that sole that contain animal-products. We formed this hypothesis because of the latest research on vegan hot dogs containing animal-products uncovered by Clear Labs. Therefore, we expect the results to to be similar to the results of the vegan hot dogs experiments.
