In order to obtain diet rules one must look at various diets to see how they are defined. After looking at [[these diets]] some conclusions can be drawn:
Rules are defined in [http://www.v-label.info The European Vegetarian Label]:
  −
* Ovo-vegetarian - contains egg
  −
* Lacto-Vegetarian - contains milk
  −
* Ovo-Lacto-Vegetarian - contains egg and/or milk
  −
* Vegan - no animal product
  −
Strangely these rules do not exclude, but include. However the basic, unspoken rule, in these labels is that nothing should come from dead animals. Interestingly they note that these rules are part of Swiss law. The European Vegetarian has defined [[detailed rules]] to be included. Interestingly these rules also specify animal welfare (no battery eggs) and non-gmo. Also it talks about products used during the product creating, which are not to be found on the productlabel as ingredient.<br />
  −
There is also a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetarianism labelling system in India] (using green and red).
  −
==== Raw veganism ====
  −
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_veganism Raw veganism] follows veganism and [[raw foodism]] It is a compound diet.
  −
==== Raw foodism ====
  −
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_foodism Raw foodism] implies that food cooked at a temperature above 48 °C should be excluded. This rule is not based on the ingredients used, but on how the product is made. Thus, this can not be extracted from the productlabel.
