Adan Stribble: Actually, the above answer is not true. many orange juices with calcium added use calcium derived from cow's milk, so it's not vegan. I don't know about minute maid, but you should read the label carefully, and check an on line list like http://www.happycow.net/health-animal-ingredients.... or http://thirty5.org/ipod/ (it's so handy for shopping if you have an iPod). If you still can't find an ingredient and are skeptical, call the company and ask.
Arleen Bussing: If it's a fruit juice, yes. If it's anything with egg or milk, no. The way they add in calcium and vitamin D is by isolating those individual compounds. Thus, there is no sign of meat, egg, milk, or other non-vegan products when they add the calcium and vitamin D into anything. Thus, if the product with the calcium and vitamin D is vegan without the calcium and vitamins, then it should be vegan with those compounds.
