Company email (May 2016) re: Carlsberg Ukraine:
"В процессе фильтрации наша компания использует два вида фильтрационных материалов, а именно:

-кизельгур, который производится из горной породы, состоящей преимущественно из останков диатомовых водорослей; и

-уголь активированный растительного происхождения.

Хотим обратить ваше внимание, на то, что для соблюдения веганской диеты мы рекомендуем вам потреблять пиво в банке или кеге, поскольку для наклейки этикетки на стеклянную бутылку и ПЭТ может использоваться в качестве вспомогательного материала казеиновый клей."

[Translation: "In the production of beer Ukraine Sarlsberg company does not use animal products.

In the filtering process, our company uses two types of filtration materials, namely:

-kizelgur, which is made from rock, consisting mainly of the remains of diatoms; and
-the carbon activated vegetable origin.

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that compliance with the vegan diet, we recommend you to consume a beer keg in the bank or as a label for a label to a glass bottle and PET can be used as an auxiliary material casein glue."]

Company email for Sweden: (I decided to practice my Swedish with Carlsberg Sverige :) Here's the translation of what he said -Cody)
No, no animal products in our beer.
Using gelatin as fining agents is very rare in Sweden, but there are sometimes abroad (eg England) to top-fermented dark beer ferments in barrels or clear bottle.
This method is not based on any of Carlsberg beers, but these are based exclusively only from malt, hops, yeast and water.
