I may be wrong on this but I'm pretty sure I've seen some seemingly redundant "no gluten", "lactose free" or "vegan/vegetarian" labels on a lot of products in german and austrian supermarkets. Could be that these products are labeled that way because they were made in an allergen free environment i.e. no parallel production of something containing these allergens.

    Well some products one would assumes to be vegan/vegetarian normally aren't. e.g. Wine and Cheese

    Unfortunately there are very few redundant "vegan" labels since even plain sugar can be non-vegan (being processed using bone char) not to mention a ton of different fats, colourings, and other additives that can all come from either animal, plant, or synthetic source, and unless the manufacturer confirms, as a customer you have no way of knowing which it is, unless they've labelled it.
