M&M's are a popular brand of candy-coated chocolates produced by Mars, Incorporated. The classic M&M's, which are milk chocolate candies, are not vegan because they contain dairy products. However, there are vegan-friendly versions of M&M's available. Mars, Incorporated has introduced M&M's that are made without gelatin, which is often derived from animal sources.
