Assuming you are willing/qualified to be a spokesperson for vegans:
When you encounter a menu item marked “Vegan” and discover that it isn’t, do you often speak to the manager to advise them to either remove the label or change the recipe?
I’m not vegan, but I often (not OFTEN but more frequently that my wife would prefer!) mention menu mistakes to the server/cashier in the hopes of helping a future guest.
Depends if you like the place and want to come back again. Or indeed if you have the time to do a good deed for others. Power to you good sir. I try to do the same.
I just don’t sweat the small stuff myself. I’m not a vegan or someone with allergies/sensitivities. Power to anyone who wants to be a strict vegan, but I’m just arguing unless you have dietary health reasons, when it comes to minor mistakes, a bit of flexibility just takes the tension away. You aren’t a bad person if you’re not a perfect vegan every meal and nobody (including yourself) should hold it against you if you just eat what’s served, whether a restaurant or friends house.

As another non vegan (AKA “carnist”) I agree FWIW.
I think they were talking about the line cooks making a mistake, not the menu being fraudulent.
Certainly possible!
