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.

Are veggies happy to eat bug secretions? I don't know.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.
What's that last part?Are veggies happy to eat bug secretions? I don't know.
I'll edit the title if folk will sleep easier.
Wash with salt in the water next time.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 ...
