But Minstrel eaters beware:

“The company, which had said admitting that it could not guarantee all products as suitable for vegetarians was a “principled decision”, said it will begin changing its recipe back immediately for the best-selling four brands and at a later date for Minstrels.”

They really have lost it. To not reverse the decision immediately on all their products is stupid. They will have to hope that not all consumers will be aware of this – and that consumers will throw caution to thw wind. Forget it!

And did anyone know that it affected ice cream as well?

I didn’t.

Masterfoods reverses anti-veggie decision:

The firm had said it would change the whey used in some of its products from a vegetarian source to one with traces of the animal enzyme, rennet.

The Vegetarian Society organised a campaign against the move, asking members to voice their concerns to parent company Masterfoods.

Mars said it became “very clear, very quickly” that it had made a mistake.

In just one week, more than 6,000 people bombarded the company, which produces the Mars, Snickers, Maltesers and Galaxy brands, with phone and e-mail complaints.

Forty MPs also signed a petition to voice their opposition.

Fiona Dawson, managing director of Mars UK, said the company had listened to customers and decided to reverse its decision.

“The consumer is our boss and we had lots of feedback from consumers who were unhappy about the change,” Ms Dawson said.

“It became very clear, very quickly that we had made a mistake, for which I am sorry.

I had said they would have to do this within the week – and they have!!

For all of you who would like to help, please visit: http://www.marscampaign.org

Please have a look, and help spread the word. Also, sign the 3000 strong petition We’ve linked to, if you haven’t already. I really think it’s going to make a difference.

The Masterfoods/Mars product listing is also listed under “Which Products” – you’ll notice some of your favourite chocolate is made by them. It’s a pity if you’re vegetarian, but you can help!

Have a look at the Vegetarian Society’s “stumbling blocks” section that’s also linked to. It’s enlightening to say the least – tells you about all the ingredients and processing agents to avoid. It’s scary what goes into our food.

Many Thanks.
