Non Veggie apples anyone?

[PeteXXX]

I always presumed that apples were suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Turns out that one of the the waxy coatings applied, shellac, is made from secrections of the Lac bug.

How would you ever know?

E904

other use:

for cycling as a protective and decorative coating for handlebar tape,[20] and as a hard-drying adhesive for tubular cycle tyres, particularly for track racing

in Jelly Belly jelly beans, in combination with beeswax to give them their final buff and polish

Without trying to be pedantic and start another Vegan war, surely the apple is suitable for veggies, but not vegans, so the thread title needs fixing.

Are veggies happy to eat bug secretions? I don't know.
I'll edit the title if folk will sleep easier.

I nearly ate some non-veggie cabbage this evening! Well, I DID eat the cabbage, but I spotted some little slugs on the leaves before I cooked them ...
