Hundreds of angry vegans have accused Vimto of taking a step backwards after it announced it was altering the recipe of its iconic squash drinks to include Vitamin D from animal products .
The British-based drinkmaker announced that they would be adding Vitamin D to their popular fruit juice from this month after Public Health England endorsed a daily supplement of the vitamin.
However, the move left hundreds of fans of the brand in uproar as their website stated the D3 fortification, which tends to come from sheep s wool, would make the drink no longer suitable for vegans.
One vegan went as far as to start a petition demanding that Nichols PLC, the company that produces Vimto, to revert back to their vegan-friendly recipe.
