Ok, I will explain it.
All figs are 100% omnivorous food and -- Some -- figs are 100% vegan food. (Lets pretend that all this birds entangled and shoot never existed). And I'm saying some, but not all.
The varieties of Ficus carica can be classified in four groups if I remember correctly. Figs in the so called 'common' group don't need to be pollinated. Can be cultivated in areas too cold in winter for the wasp to survive (like Germany, UK or even Sweden) so is a popular one and often seen in markets. This could be tagged as genuinely "100% vegan". You can do a thousand studies on then and "prove" that figs never, ever, have insects inside, but you would be just lying to yourself and your customers.
Because the real hot stuff in figs are the 'Smyrna group', that always involve the death of several animals (that are stolen to nature by people and put there deliberately to die. Definitely not vegan friendly kind of stuff). Figs in the groups 'Smyrna', 'San Pedro' or 'San Antonio' will hold the remains of a few of those animals. Period.
But those figs are also much better in complexity of flavor, crunchy texture, and better nutritionally also so the sacrifice was not in vain. Those are the famous figs breed in warm places like Greece or Turkey.
