Do Aldi test on animals?

No, Aldi does not test its own-brand beauty, health, or cleaning products on animals and has banned it for these items, with their UK stores certified by Cruelty Free International's Leaping Bunny program; however, their animal welfare policies focus more broadly on ethical sourcing for food, where some third-party suppliers may still have varying practices, so consumers concerned about animal testing should look for the Leaping Bunny logo on specific non-food products.
