Dishwasher tablets that have not been tested on animals?

Does anyone know of a brand of dishwasher tablets that have definitely not been tested on animals?
I was under the impression that Ecover products were cruelty free but there is not logo on the box which suggests that they are.
Even the Tesco own brand tablets didn't have a logo and I also thought Tesco own brand products were cruelty free.
I am so Confused

The Co-op own brand are not tested on animals. My eldest daughter won't allow any cleaning products into the house that have been tested on animals so we go to the Co-op for washing powder, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets etc. I used to use Ecover as I too assumed they were cruelty free. Seems not.

Ecover may well be cruelty free, they just don't say so on their packaging.
Good for your daughter stopthelights and good for you for listening to her.
I shall get myself to the Co-op then - thank you!

My daughter (aged 10) says that Ecover are on the 'uncaged' 'bad list' so she won't buy their products. She has a leaflet on ethical shopping and checks brands off as they come in the house. We had to stop shopping at Morrisons as it was impossible to get cleaning products there that passed scrutiny.

stopthelights my dd is just about to turn 10 as well and she is very interested in my attempts to go cruelty free. I looked up Ecover last night and could find nothing to suggest that they were cruelty free so I am giving them a swerve personally. I am sticking to the co-op and things with the BUAV logo or Tesco with it's bunny logo for now and waiting for my BUAV booklet to arrive. The cruelty free products also seem to be cheaper so it seems a win win situation! Grin

I'm still finding my feet with choosing cruelty free products so I might be wrong but I have heard that Astonish household products including their dishwasher tablets are cruelty free. They stock a wide range of their products at The Range.

Yes, Astonish are Leaping Bunny
And I have Waitrose Washing Up Liquid and some detergents that are Leaping Bunny (I don't think I've tried their DW tablets , need to check them)

Tesco are well worth looking into, they have long term been an ethical store , many years ago they refused to buy Canadian fish because Canadian fishermen culled the seal puppies

Astonish and also the wilko own brand eco ones. But they don't work very well sadly (not for me, anyway, and I use salt and rinse aid too).

Ecozone are also cruelty free but are quite expensive!

Smol can be ordered online and don't test any of their products on animals nor do they sell to any countries that force testing on animals.

Aldi Magnum All in One are leaping bunny certified, as are many of their cleaning products.

Method products are not tested on animals and they don't use animal by-products.
