Fruit is not suitable for vegans: popular supermarket chain receives unexpected accusations
On Sunday, August 21, a Tesco supermarket confirmed that its oranges were labeled "non-vegan" due to the application of beeswax to the peel during the manufacturing process. Tesco said it was "looking for alternatives" after being urged to sell fruits that are suitable for vegans. Independent.

The peel of oranges, or even lemons and limes, is not suitable for vegan use in cooking if it has been waxed.
The supermarket giant has now said it is looking for alternatives to wax and some of its other fruits, as they may contain shellac, a resin secreted by the female lac beetle.

According to the Retail Gazette, Tesco is working with suppliers to find an alternative.
Beeswax is commonly used on citrus peels as it helps keep the fruit fresh longer.
Those on a vegan diet should buy organic fruits as they have not been preserved.
It comes after a vegan supermarket ad was banned earlier this year for "misleading" environmental information.
