Hello, I'm a food industry expert with a keen interest in dietary preferences and the composition of various snacks and candies. When it comes to the vegan status of a product, it's important to consider not only the ingredients but also the manufacturing processes.

Mini Starburst, also known as Starburst Minis, are a popular chewy candy. The vegan status of these candies can vary depending on the country they are produced in and the specific flavor. In general, Starburst candies do not contain animal-derived ingredients in their primary formulation. However, they are sometimes not considered vegan due to the potential for cross-contamination with non-vegan products during the manufacturing process or the use of certain additives that may be derived from animal sources.

To determine if Mini Starburst are vegan, it's best to check the packaging for a vegan logo or contact the manufacturer directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
