Guest guest Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 I'm also wondering whose standards were used to decide the glue was safe to eat. The US government considers pretty high levels of toxins " safe " . I'm now allergic to some of the common chemicals used in adhesives and the plasticizers in products " safe " to use with foods and " safe " to use in body care products by US government standards. I wouldn't be allergic to them now if they truly had no negative health impact. Jeff, The animal product based glues I know about are only sticky when hot or before they dry out. When dry at room temperature, they aren't sticky anymore. Those fruit stickers seem to be sticky at room temperature. From our perspective, the worst case is the glue has an animal product base and a little bit of petroleum based plasticizer to keep it sticky at room temperature. To be safe with confidence, I cut the part of the fruit with the sticker off, and throw it in the garbage, not the compost. May your day be filled with clarity, grace, progress, and warm laughter, Roger - " Jeff Rogers " <jeff <RawSeattle > Friday, April 22, 2005 6:29 AM [RawSeattle] Re: information on fruit stickers > > >Lots of people complain that the stickers are too hard > >to peel off, so it may be a relief to know that the adhesive is safe to > >eat. > > ...But is it vegan?
