Probably, but we can't be sure. Otsuka Pocari Sweat has nothing clearly from animals on its ingredient list, but 2 ingredients could come from plants or animals.

Ingredients

砂糖（国内製造）、果糖ぶどう糖液糖、果汁、食塩／酸味料、香料、塩化K、乳酸Ca、調味料（アミノ酸）、塩化Mg、酸化防止剤（ビタミンC）

What the highlights mean

Could be animal- or plant-derived

  • 香料 flavouring: Flavourings can come from animal or plant sources.
  • 調味料（アミノ酸） seasoning: Usually MSG and nucleotides fermented from sugarcane or starch. But a few amino acids and nucleotides allowed under this name come from animals (feathers, gelatin, fish), and the label doesn't say which were used.

Look animal-derived, but aren't

  • 乳酸 lactic acid: Made by fermentation, not from milk.
