Confectioners glaze, often made from shellac, can pose issues for those with dietary restrictions, particularly vegetarians and vegans, as it is derived from insect secretions. Additionally, it may contain additives or chemicals that some consumers prefer to avoid due to health concerns. Its use can also raise questions about transparency in food labeling, as not all products disclose the presence of this ingredient. Lastly, some people may have allergic reactions or sensitivities to shellac or its components.
Confectioners glaze is a by-product of the Lac beetle. Lac is the generic name of the natural resin gathered by the Lac beetle that thrives on various trees and shrubs in India, Burma, Indochina, and Siam. The Lac beetle converts the sap of the trees into resin. It is very similar to a bee's production of honey and is called "transferred nectar." The Lac resin is collected, crushed, washed, dried, and made into pure food glaze. The Lac beetle is not harmed in any way.
Balsamic glaze can last for about a year if stored properly in a cool, dark place. Over time, balsamic glaze can go bad if it develops an off smell, taste, or appearance.

I have never heard that candies which have confectioners glaze on it have not been declaired as not kosher. Some insects are kosher, even some of the locusts are kosher. See 613 commandments for more information.
