The Vegetarian Resource Group was forwarded this note from an ingredient watcher, which was received from Tropicana.
Thanks for asking. Tropicana juices do not contain any animal by products with the exception of any product containing cochineal, Tropicana Pure Premium Healthy Heart (contains Fish) and Tropicana Farmstand Pomegranate Blueberry (contains beef derivatives).

Wow, I think many non-vegans would be grossed out by this. Juice is supposed to juice.
Beef???!
How?
It’s Aug 2022 and I was just about to order some Tropicana juice on Amazon (Tropicana 100% Juice 3-flavor Classic Variety Pack,10 Fl Oz Pack of 24). But was curious as to what the CARMINE ingredient was in the Fruit Medley juice.
It’s ground up beetles.
What kind of evil, greedy corporation would put BUGS in JUICE?
I’m so absolutely disgusted. Juice should be vegan, right?
Tell your vegan and vegetarian friends.
Consider them boycotted. This is the stuff of nightmares. I could never forget the horror of learning that Tropicana did this and will never use another of their products again. I’ve noticed that ground up insects and bugs go by many names. Carmine is just one. I suspect that as people become aware of this, they’ll just keep switching the names to keep us off guard.
