So Why Did People Think Orbit Gum Wasn’t Vegan?
In the past, many many many years ago, Orbit put a small gelatin coating around some of the flavor-beads in their gums, and I believe it wasn’t even listed on the ingredients when it happened. It was something along those lines, but since then Orbit has stated multiple times that they don’t do that any longer and fixed that with their manufacturers.
They’ve specifically said that there are no animal ingredients in their products, meaning both the Glycerol and the artificial colors in some of their gums are in fact vegan, contrary to what some people fear-monger online.
