Tropicana contains some Non-Veg Ingredients

Yes it's true!


We are going to tell you something about some brand of orange juice which use non veg particles in it.

Even the famous brand like tropicana uses these acids and vitamins.

Who said Sugar is Veg?

Sugar is Non-Veg



Today we gonna tell few things about the manufacture of sugar. For those who thinks refined sugar are safe for vegetarian. Sugar contains animals bones in it. Yes! I said true, unbelievable right?
Sugar is not naturally white, so to make it white it is being processed by using bone char of animals, many types of sugar are made in this way like brown sugar, confectioners sugar, e.t.c.  To create a doubt in public, bone char is referred to as Natural carbon. So its better to look for unrefined sugar for those who are vegetarian.
