Jimbo 175 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Some of the UK's best-selling chocolate bars, such as Mars and Twix, will no longer be suitable for vegetarians. Also affecting brands such as Snickers and Maltesers, owner Masterfoods said it had started to use animal product rennet to make its chocolate products. Masterfoods said the change was due to it switching the sourcing of its ingredients and the admission was a "principled decision" on its part. The Vegetarian Society said the company's move was "incomprehensible". 'Extremely disappointed' Masterfoods said it had started using rennet from 1 May and non-affected products had a "best before date" up to 1 October. Rennet, a chemical sourced from calves' stomachs, is used in the production of whey. It will now also be found in Bounty, Minstrels and Milky Way products, and the ice cream versions of all Masterfoods' bars. "If the customer is an extremely strict vegetarian, then we are sorry the products are no longer suitable, but a less strict vegetarian should enjoy our chocolate," said Paul Goalby, corporate affairs manager for Masterfoods. The Vegetarian Society said it was "extremely disappointed". "At a time when more and more consumers are concerned about the provenance of their food, Masterfoods' decision to use non-vegetarian whey is a backward step," it said in a statement. "Mars products are very popular with young people and many will be shocked to discover that their manufacture now relies on the extraction of rennet from the stomach lining of young calves," it added.

ewerk 31671 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 No more chocolate for Alex then. Mars should never have told them, they wouldn't have noticed any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever heard rumoured sightings of the Man that Dieting Forgot I'm surprised that a man who's as large as yourself would bring attention to weight discussion... maybe you speak of others weight to take focus from your own size?

gram 0 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I was veggie for about 20 years til last year. Still eat mostly veggie now. Got pissed with my mate last year, he persuaded me to have a bit of kebab. About the size of a postage stamp. Fucking awful an my body rebelled and puked for two days. I have chicken occasionally now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
