Over 79 million people worldwide are vegan, and the market for plant-based products continues to grow. While the basic cranberry is a fruit and thus inherently vegan, the journey from berry to bottle can introduce a variety of animal-derived ingredients, making the vegan status of the final juice uncertain for many brands.

According to the Vegetarian Resource Group, some Tropicana products contain animal-derived ingredients such as fish oil, gelatin, and even beef derivatives. This surprising fact addresses the question: why is Tropicana not vegan?, challenging the assumption that all fruit juice is plant-based.
