Now beef in popular chocolate bars!
Masterfoods (producers of Mars, Snickers and Maltesers) have reversed their decision to use animal rennet in their most popular products, after angry reactions from vegetarian organizations across the country. Earlier this month, Masterfoods began to use animal rennet which is derived from the stomach of newborn calves in many of their products, therefore making the product non-vegetarian, contain what is in effect beef. This rennet alternative is much cheaper than the vegetarian rennet which was previously used.CLICK HERE TO VIEW REST OF ARTICLE

Very disgusting to learn that chocolates are having animal renets inside.

apparently this issue was quashed as soon as it broke out to people, the company reversed the decision due to pressure to include animal remains in the chocolate bars.

How would the industry turn a bye-product waste into a cash cow? Need to control one’s pallate… Eat vegetables and not Choclate to stay healthy and wise (perhaps wealthy by saving money)

Does anyone knows if Cadbury chocolates are vegetarian too? They have all these E this and E that in them–are these things vegetarian?

We can find out, but it would be hard. Choclate companies would keep the true recipies away from general public after the outrageous roar made by the genereal public over this issue. Thankfully animal renets wont be used, and chocolate companies have realised consequnces of it.
