According to the label on a certain bag of Florida oranges, the poor fruit was
treated with colorant, fungicides, propelene glycol (?), vegetable fatty acid
and protein.
Some of these ingredients, such as the protein, could be of animal origin. Does
anyone have further info on this?
The oranges from the Purity Supreme are not labeled regarding treatment, and
they have the naturally varying orange color rather than the artificial
homogeneous orange color achieved by colorant. How does one know if the label
forgot to mention protein treatment, etc?
