How to ask in japanese if the ingredients are from plants

When we live in Japan, it is important to know how to ask a company if one of its products is from plants or animal.
This how you can ask:

  • Is the ingredient (X for example) of the product (Y for example) from animal or plant?
In japanese: Yの原材料のXは、動物由来ですか。それとも植物由来ですか。
Reading: Y no genzairyou no X wa doubutsu yurai desu ka? soretomo shokubutsu yurai
desu ka?
  • Are all the ingredients from plants.
In japanese: 原材料はすべて植物性ですか。
Reading: Genzairyou wa subete shokubutsusei desu ka?

  • Is anything from animal contained in the ingredients?
In japanese: 原材料に動物性のものは含まれていますか。
Reading: Genzairyou ni doubutsusei no mono wa fukumarete imasu ka?
