I normally just go by the ingredients for most things. If it doesn't explicitly state that it's vegan but the ingredients are all fine it's usually because there's a risk of cross contamination in the facility that the item was produced. If you're vegan by choice rather than being intolerant to certain animal products, I wouldn't worry about it.
The main exception that comes to mind is beer or wine. The finished product may not contain animal products so won't list them in the ingredients but the production process involves animal products. Best to Google if they're not marked as vegan and you're not sure!Once you've been at it for a while it gets a lot easier, you can walk in to a shop and know exactly what you should and shouldn't buy rather than having to read every individual label!

Question for a newbie vegan here. There’s some items in supermarket bakeries like plain white rolls and baguettes that are labelled vegetarian but not vegan. There’s no milk products in the ingredients, so I can only assume it contains trace elements of whey or milk.
What’s the dig with this sort of stuff? Is it only labelled non vegan because it can’t officially be certified vegan with such traces, but they’re unofficially vegan and nearly all vegans still just eat them?
I have bought plain baguettes thinking they were just white bread so must be vegan. Have I been sinning?
